In all honesty the way to Holiness is with Mary

In response to you I will Quote Someone Who already is in Heaven and is internationally, Papally, and Saintly recognized as the greatest Marian Saint who ever lived in the history of 2000 years of Roman Catholicism aside from Christ himself and Saint Joseph and other Massive Players:

  1. In the second place we must conclude that, the most holy Virgin being necessary to God by a necessity which we call "hypothetical," in consequence of His will, she is far more necessary to men, in order that they may attain their last end. We must not confuse devotion to the Blessed Virgin with devotions to the other saints, as if devotion to her were not far more necessary than a devotion to them, and as if devotion to her were a matter of supererogation.

3.Mary is Necessary to all men to attain salvation.

  1. The learned and pious Jesuit, Suarez, the erudite and devout Justus Lipsius, doctor of Louvain, and many others have proved invincibly, from the sentiments of the Fathers (among others, St. Augustine, St. Ephrem, deacon of Edessa, St Cyril of Jerusalem, St. Germanus of Constantinople, St. John Damascene, St. Anselm, St. Bernard, St. Bernardine, St. Thomas and St. Bonaventure), that devotion to our Blessed Lady is necessary to salvation, and that (even heretics) it is an infallible mark of reprobation to have no esteem and love for the holy Virgin; while on the other hand, it is an infallible mark of predestination to be entirely and truly devoted to her.

This is from the BOOK TRUE DEVOTION TO MARY. It is a classic over Millions of copies. So it is not me who answers you, your heresy on my post that I wish I had a hammer to nail that heresy into the floodboard of hell, it is Saint Louis De Montfort who says contrary,

No Resdayn_Bordiga. You don't love her nor, do you have devotion to her, if you think devotion to her means that you can not be devoted to her and be just fine. In fact, Saint Louis De Montfort goes on to say,

"“Just as in the natural and corporal generation of children there are a father and a mother, so in the supernatural and spiritual generation there are a Father, who is God, and a Mother, who is Mary. All of God’s true children have Him for their Father and Mary for their Mother. He who has not Mary for his Mother has not God for his Father. This is the reason why heretics, schismatics and others, who hate our Blessed Lady or regard her with contempt and indifference, have not God for their Father—they have not Mary for their Mother. For if they had her for their Mother they would love and honor her as a true child naturally loves and honors the mother who has given him life.”

So actually, your post should be deleted because it turns people away from Mary thinking that you can be saved without devotion to Mary which, St. Bernard, Doctor of the Church, and Saint Bonevanture, Doctor of the Church on the frontline condemns, He who neglects the service of Mary shall die in sin, (Glories of Mary, written by another Doctor of the Church, Saint Alphonsus)

So there you go in 1 minute I have 3 doctors against you showing you cant be saved by going to anyone other than Mary. SHE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD. Jesus said I am the Way, only to the Father through Me. His Doctors of the Church cry out, "Only to Mary may we reach the way, she is the way to the way."

I am not in danger of heresy. Your position you can be saved by neglecting devotion to Mary which you state is true by your words, "She is not the only way to God=You can be saved without having devotion to Mary" is false.

I don't say it is false: Saint Louis De Montfort, St. Bernard Doctor of the Chruch, Saint Bonaventure Doctor of the Church, and Saint Alphonsus Doctor of the Church all say it is false.

You must have devotion to Mary to be saved. This is exactly the arsenic in this sub I am talking about. Its from the devil and I hate it with my whole heart because it is WRONG. Absolutely, soul going to hell forever. How can you deny a statement made by 2000 years of Doctors of the Church with no one to say otherwise? To stand with your position is staying in the camp of heresy.
