Didaché - Did The New Pope Just Call Mary...God?

Did the new Pope just refer to Mary as “our God”? In this episode of Didaché, Justin Peters examines a moment from Pope Leo XIV’s inaugural address that has sparked global controversy. Was it a translation error—or a stunning revelation of what Rome truly believes about Mary? Whether the Pope said “our God” or “our Mother,” the deeper issue remains: Roman Catholic doctrine ascribes to Mary divine attributes, welcomes prayer directed to her, and elevates her far beyond Scripture’s teaching.

Justin walks through Catholic prayers and official sources that plainly deify Mary, revealing the blasphemous claims hidden beneath the surface of tradition. This isn’t mere theological quibbling—it’s a matter of worship, idolatry, and the sufficiency of Christ alone. If you’ve ever wondered what Catholics really believe about Mary, or how far Rome has drifted from biblical Christianity, this sobering episode will clarify.

Watch now and be equipped to speak the truth in love to your Catholic friends—with Scripture as your authority, not tradition.

About the Podcast

Didaché
Didaché is dedicated to deepening our love for God through deepening our knowledge of God.
Didaché is the Greek word for teaching or doctrine. All Christians profess to love Jesus but few seem to have a passion for doctrine and theology. The Didaché podcast is dedicated to teaching sound doctrine and theology for it is by this that our knowledge of God is deepened which, in turn, enables our love for God to be deepened. The Bible says, "And this I pray, that your love would abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment" (Philippians 1:9).

This podcast will discuss doctrine, theology, hermeneutics, and how to apply all of these disciplines so that we can live lives obedient to God's word and for His glory. We will see how, far from being boring, there is nothing more exciting and practical for the Christian than to both know and apply sound doctrine. Most of the programs will simply be straight teaching from Justin but from time to time he will also interview special guests on the program, deal with current theological issues as they arise, and will dedicate some time to answering your questions that you send in. This podcast will not have all of the bells and whistles of some of the others, but what it lacks in sound effects we trust will be made up in content.
