There is only ONE mediator between God and Man...Jesus himself...
Yes, only Jesus is a Mediator in a salvific sense. There is only one Salvific Mediator, who is Jesus Christ.
Quote:
...the Pope is not a mediator, neither is Mary.
True. Neither the Pope nor Mary is the one Salvific Mediator.

Once you stop the polytheism, then maybe there will be hope for you.
Straw Man. Catholics are strict monotheists. Sorry for your (continuing, and willful) confusion.

Stating the truth is hateful?
I'm pretty dumbfounded by that statement.
Sorry, but I cannot stand silent while a fellow human being makes a mockery of Jesus' work on the cross.
Should I continue letting you worship (oh, I am sorry.. venerate) idols and other human beings?
God is a jealous god, and does not share with humans.
Just remember that scripture says... true religion is not one of sight, but of good conscience. It's amazing how many people, protestant and catholic alike, need visual symbols when none should even be allowed because they lead to idolatry.
I refuse to use any symbols.. be it a cross, fish or whatever, and I also refuse to call anything made by human hands Holy, as that is God's divine right alone.

Your tacit denial of the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation is noted.

Yup, their complicity with the Spanish Government in abducting all those kids and placing them in 'good' catholic homes should have resulted in the expulsion of the catholic church entirely from Spain.
No apology or attempt to return the children to their rightful parents yet... how sad.
