Description
What Every Catholic Should Know about Mary: Dogmas, Doctrines, and Devotions by Terrence J. McNally This book provides a concise summary of Traditional Catholic Mariology. It explains the following facts: - Jesus worked his first miracle for Mary (Jn 2:1-11). - Mary kept the faith of the Church alive on Calvary (Jn 19:25-27). - By 200 CE, Catholic Mariology was virtually completed. - Early Christians painted pictures of Mary in the catacombs. - The earliest prayer to Mary dates from c. 270 CE. - Between 100 and 200 CE, a church was dedicated to Mary at Nazareth. - In the 350s, the feast of the Assumption of Mary was celebrated on August 15. - In 431 CE, the Church proclaimed Mary Mother of God. - Marian devotion is Christ-centered and presupposes conversion of heart. - Catholic Marian teaching derives from the Bible and Tradition (the apostles as witnessed by the Fathers of the Church). - The four Marian dogmas are the Divine Maternity, Perpetual Virginity, Immaculate Conception, and Assumption into heaven. The Church never defined dogmas of Mary as Co-Redemptrix and/or Mediatrix of all graces. - In heaven, Mary shares subordinately in the mediation of Jesus Christ, the only Mediator. - The rosary is 57 percent biblical.
