"A world wide move has begun to where many people are acknowleging Mary as a go-between, a place only reserved for Jesus. This trend has encompassed Mary along with other goddess philosophies."

I think you may be confusing Traditional Catholicism with the so-called Goddess Movement within the general field of the New Age Movement. Traditional Catholicism never worshipped Mary.

There was a heresy in Arabia during the years AD 350-450 called COLLYRIDIANISM. They went beyond veneration of Our Blessed Mother into outright worship, and so were kicked out of the Church. The major opponent of this heresy was the bishop Epiphanius of Salamis.

Here are some Web links to find out more information about this heresy:

I hope this will help you with further research on this topic, as well as to strengthen your resolve to fight the New Age wherever it is.

Thank you for your time and patience, and may God richly bless you and your loved ones.
