Thenextquestioncomes from"R.M.,"ofNedlands. "R.M."apparentlyaconvert,writesaskingwhyCatholicsarenotallowedto bepresentattheweddings ofProtestantsinProtestant churches.Thelettercontinues:

"Howcanyoureconcilea priest,ortheVirgin, asamediator,whenI.Tim., 2-5,says:'ThereisoneGod andonemediatorofGod andmen,themanChrist Jesus.?"

Veryeasily,byreading theconnectingverse,which youdidriotquote.Christ Jesusiscalledthereinthe oneandonlymediatorof "redemptionforall,"or,as theProtestantBiblesays, "aransomforall."No priesteverclaimedforhimselforfortheBlessed MotherofGod,themediatorshipof"redemption"or "ransom,""forall."That belongsexclusivelytoJesus Christ,whoistheprimary, thesuprememediator.
