Papal Notes - Still Crying Out For Diana

 ...all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, 

Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

Acts 19:34

"On New Year’s Day, January 1, 2022, Pope Francis urged people

to place their lives under the protection of the Virgin Mary. This was the Pope’s first public act of 2022. He also celebrated a special Mass for the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God. The Pope said:

“At the beginning of the New Year, then, let us place ourselves under the protection of this woman, the Mother of God, who is also our mother. May she help us to keep and ponder all things, unafraid of trials and with the joyful certainty that the Lord is faithful and can transform every cross into a resurrection. Today too, let us call upon her as did the People of God at Ephesus. Let us stand and, facing Our Lady as did the people of God in Ephesus, let us together repeat three times her title of Mother of God: ‘Holy Mother of God, Holy Mother of God, Holy Mother of God!’ Amen.” 

This was an obvious reference to the Council of Ephesus (449),

when the bishops met for the first time to officially exalt the Virgin Mary and declare her the “Mother of God.”

Is it a coincidence that the goddess Diana, whom the men of Ephesus worshiped, was also a virgin?  

Is it also just a coincidence that the bishops meeting at Ephesus formally acknowledged the devotion of the Virgin Mary (Diana) as part of Catholic doctrine after Constantine incorporated paganism into the Christian church in the early fourth century? 

The fact is that idol worship, which the Apostle Paul denounced and

urged people to abandon, is still alive and active in today’s “church.” To this day, the Virgin Diana, now known as Virgin Mary, is still being venerated." AdventMessenger
