“Great is Diana of the Ephesians” (Acts 19:34).
The Ephesians did not hide the fact they were proud and eager worshippers of the great goddess Diana and of her image, unlike Roman Catholics who pretend to limit their ‘veneration’ of the Blessed Virgin Mary to that of ‘hyperdulia.’
To prove their devotion to the great goddess Diana, a magnificent Temple was constructed in her name, considered one of the seven wonders of the world.
Not to be outdone by the pagan Ephesians, the Roman Catholic Church has their version of the Temple of Diana: The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
Translation: The Temple of the Blessed Virgin Goddess Mary.
According to a press release promoting tourist visitors, the Basilica is “the largest Roman Catholic Church in North America, and the 10th largest in the world. With its dozens of chapels devoted to the Virgin Mary, an upper church that can accommodate 10,000 worshippers and soaring central dome, it’s a site inspiring both faith and awe.”
The Virgin Goddess Mary is very accommodating, no matter the cult of preference. She is always ready, willing and able to answer the prayers of those who earnestly and passionately seek her help.
The Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes.
This is one of dozens of Marian shrines available at the Basilica for the needs of the faithful, whatever and whoever they may be.
By no strange coincidence both the city of Ephesus and Mystery Babylon are considered ‘confused.’
And the whole city was filled with confusion (Acts 19:29).
‘Babylon’ is defined as ‘to confuse,’ according to Wikipedia (source).
Would it not be proper then to address a visitor who praises the majestic, awe-inspiring grandeur of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception with a curt, “How Babylonian of you!”
