The Roman Catholic Church likes to think that the Virgin Mary is some kind of intermediary between man and God. That if you ask the Father in the name of Jesus, and He doesn't grant your wish, you go and pray to Mary--because, after all, she's a much better intercessor than Jesus. He's just an old stick in the mud and by golly, sometimes He needs His momma to set Him straight. So here is how one passage of Scripture would have to read for this abominable heresy to be true (altered text in bold italics).
1st Timothy 2:5-6
