The Total Collapse of the Faith and the Holy Mother of God.
Happy Solemnity of the Mother of God — a tremendous Feast! And we are going to need the protection of our heavenly Mother this year. Recall that since the Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of God, and at the Incarnation, her Divine Son became our brother, then that makes Her our Mother as well, hence the title Our Blessed Mother. This was, of course, all confirmed for us by Our Lord's words from the Cross on Calvary when He said to St. John standing in the place for all of us, "Behold, Your Mother," a point that those who accept the heresy of Protestantism — like those fake Catholics who preach the Alpha program — are happy to dismiss. Don't want to offend anyone, don't you know, anyone, that is except Catholics who actually believe and profess all that the Church teaches.
But back to the thrust of this Vortex — the Church in 2018 is going to need its Mother, its Holy Mother, more than perhaps any time in our 2,000-year history …More

Gloria Thomas through Mary came Christ the Redemptor through Mary will come Christ Salvator. It is Holy Trinity's will to engage Mary Coredemptrix, Advocate and Mediatrix. Viva Cristo Rey et Maria Immaculata!

Why is it that the Church will only triumph thanks to Mary?

answer to Gloria Thomas: The childbirth the Woman suffered is because of the birth of us, the new Man of which Mary is Mother. She fled into the desert to protect us from the attacks of Satan. Mary and her children are 'in the desert' now because the world has lost all her attractiveness to us and we are waiting for the coming of the Kingdom that will come after the Woman has defeated the Dragon (…More

Mary and her children are 'in the desert' now because the world has lost all her attractiveness to us and we are waiting for the coming of the Kingdom that will come after the Woman has defeated the Dragon (cf. Rev. 12,10).
The interpretation of the Woman as an symbol of the Church is also valid, but is (again) more common among protestant theologians. Mary is the perfect image of the Church and the Church will only triumph thanks to Mary.

The Fathers of the Church quoted in the compendium of Catholic exegesis of Sacred Scripture by Cornelius a Lapidus, SJ (cir. 1550) believed this figure of the Woman was the Church itself to whom these things can be properly attributed and who is itself the Bride of Christ. Mary, the Church teaches us, did not suffer in childbirth, nor is there any account of her fleeing into the wilderness after her son was taken up to heaven. I do not know if Paul VI had an opinion about these qualifications.

Gloria Thomas: What about the Woman clothed with the sun (Rev. 12)? Pope Paul VI identified this Woman with Our Lady of Fatima ("Signum Magnum", 1967). And Apostolic Tradition did not end with the Bible. That is, indeed, a protestant view. Apostolic Tradition includes the official teaching of the successors of the Apostles.

Gloria Thomas your dilemmas are the result of cognitive error due to inability to distinguish between false and true Mariology. They seem to resemble protestant views. I would suggest reading Saints, i.e. Thomas and Louis Grignon. Their reflections on Our Lady may quickly clarify for you who Mother of God is in Scripture and remains forever, if you engage the minimum of will and intellect...

"Saint John had Her in his home." But, St. John wrote the Gospel of St. John, three epistles and the Apocalypse, and in all these books he never said one word about his personal relationship to Mary as intercessor or his religious devotion to her or her influence on the apostles or our religious duty to her. Neither did any of the other apostles or disciples. Her name is never mentioned in Sacred …More
"Saint John had Her in his home." But, St. John wrote the Gospel of St. John, three epistles and the Apocalypse, and in all these books he never said one word about his personal relationship to Mary as intercessor or his religious devotion to her or her influence on the apostles or our religious duty to her. Neither did any of the other apostles or disciples. Her name is never mentioned in Sacred Scripture in the context of our sanctification or the governing of the Church. Now, if John were the very one to whom she was specifically given as Mother by our Lord Jesus Christ, and he never said anything about her salvic mission in any of the copious books he wrote to teach us the Faith, one wonders if all the modern doctrines of Mary as the object of our devotion and confidence are, after all, apostolic.
