Mysteries of Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore 

The body in the glass case , it's possible it was an Incorruptible, a saint who's body did not decay. Saint Anthony was such a powerful preacher the rest of him decayed but his tongue did not and is on display somewhere

wednesday 8 september 2021 our lady bella regina today thank you for bringing signor vincenzo and antonio his son to visit me yesterday evening

What was the obelisk? It looked like a roman column - was it from a pagan temple? They have two pagan columns on another church.

Next time show the huge colorfull mosaic that exists on the second floor lookout area! Huge, colorful and extremely unusual! Have not seen anything like it! Also show the Bernini floating spiral staircase used by the clergy to go from floor to floor. This is adjacent to the Mosaic wall lookout also on the second floor which is accessible from the left side of the Main Entrance near "Porta Santa".

The immensely gifted sculptor of the late Renaissance, Bernini, is buried to the right of the main altar. The relic of the holy crib is on the lower level, tomb of St Jerome is beneath the sculpture of the pope. The relic of pieces of the true cross is located within the main altar area. And ancient ruins are down the basement. The ceiling structure is flat, not Gothic with buttresses. Missed quite a bit there, bud. But I really think this is the most beautiful & magnificent of churches anywhere, and that's a huge statement considering Rome is awash with stunners.

Who told you that Catholics "worship" Mary?

The masonic image is actually an ancient image of the all knowing God. It can be found in many Catholic Churches

Catholics do not worship Mary. We honor her because she is the mother of Jesus.

Thanks for featuring the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, just to correct, we worship only one God with three Divine Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, so we do not worship, Mama Mary, we love and honor her as the Mother of God, Mother of Jesus - God the Son, our brother, so basically we honor her as our Mother too

Accuse sir we are not worshipping Mary protestant and other nominal , shallow Catholics are saying that.

We venerate the Blessed Mother but we NEVER WORSHIP her. Latria is for God alone.

Catholics (and Orthodox) don't worship Mary. They only venerate (respect) her as the mother of God. Pleas learn your theology.

No. We don't worship Mary equal to Jesus!

“There are many misconceptions about what the Catholic Church teaches, especially concerning the mother of Jesus. Most of those who oppose the Catholic Church, oppose it not because of what the Catholic Church actually teaches, but rather because of what they mistakenly think the Church teaches. Because of this, it is important not to judge the Catholic Church by what you have been told the Catholic Church teaches, rather you should investigate what it officially teaches in order to properly understand Catholicism. For example, many people mistakenly think Catholics adore and worship Mary, the mother of Jesus. Catholics, however, are forbidden to do this. Catholics are required to worship and adore God alone. Nevertheless, because Christians are to imitate Jesus (Gal. 2:19), Catholics honor Mary in imitation of Jesus, who honors his mother. Jesus obeyed the Commandments perfectly (Heb. 4:15), including the one which requires honoring father and mother (Exodus 20:12). Catholics do not love Mary more than God, but rather they try to love and honor her as Jesus does, treating her as Jesus treats her. Close to Jesus' heart is his love for his mother. Also, Mary is a creature and is therefore always subordinate to Jesus, who is God the Son. In addition, Catholics try to imitate Mary's great love for her Son, Jesus. The honoring of Mary is biblical. For example, in Luke 1:28, the angel Gabriel greets Mary by saying "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you." In Luke 1:41-43, Elizabeth was the first human person to honor Mary by saying to Mary: "Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And who am I that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" Mary predicts in Luke 1:48 that all generations will call her blessed. The Blessed Virgin Mary had a subordinate but unique role in the life and mission of her Son, since by her "yes" to God's request to become the mother of the Savior (Luke 1:1-38), it was made possible for God the Son to become man (John 1:14). In God's design, Mary's consent to become the mother of Jesus was necessary (Luke 1:28). She was free to say "no" to God's request to become the mother of the Savior. It was by the grace of God and through Mary's faith in God and obedience to God's request that she became the mother of Jesus. Mary gave Jesus his human nature so that He could suffer and die on the cross for our sins. Jesus' human body, which He received from his mother, became the instrument of His redemption.” Text is From Fortney Printing pg 70

WRONG! Catholics do not worship Mary. They worship God alone. There is a differance. They venerate Mary and the Saints. Get your facts right!
