phatcatholic Posted January 3, 2004 Author Share Posted January 3, 2004 pham, MANY additions have been made to the new "Mary" entry. everyone go check it out note to non-catholics: hopefully these articles will address the questions and concerns you have regarding catholic marian doctrine. if questions remain un-answered, just let me know. holla, phatcatholic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circle_Master Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 i would have to read them before replying. i do have a question though - There is a cross where Mary is on one side of the cross in Vatican and Jesus on the other side. This seems to indicate she has a redemptive part in salvation - and since everything in Rome is sanctioned by the Pope.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatcatholic Posted January 3, 2004 Author Share Posted January 3, 2004 circle, regarding the intended meaning behind the cross you mention, i am not sure. as for mary's "redemptive part in salvation" see the section "Mediatrix/Co-Redemptrix" in the Mary entry. hopefully, the articles there should more than cover it. pax christi, phatcatholic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 It would be good to see a picture of just what Circle is talking about. Yes, Mary is usually depicted at the Foot of the Cross, with St. John the Evangelist, but Circle says that she is on the cross, next to Jesus. This would probably be some artwork indicating the artist's faith and belief that Mary is indeed in heaven with Jesus, having completed her earthly life. (Living a holy life on earth requires each of us picking up our cross and following Jesus.) Pax Christi. <>< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
