It's obvious you know little of the teachings of the Roman church. (BTW I am
neither a member nor an advocate)
What does the bible say about people preaching things of which they have no
knowledge.
The Roman church does not teach that Mary is divine and the priest (or pope)
can only absolve sins, not forgive them. So you are just inaccurate.
