Welcome back to our tutorials in Mariology!

As you have noticed by now, we’ve migrated our tutorials to the podcast stream thanks to popular demand. Our poll asking our listeners whether they’d like to continue with the video format or switch to a podcast format was overwhelmingly(!) in favor of the new podcast format, so I hope you like it!

Today we restart our time delving into the depths of Mariology and the implications that it has for the faith with the primary aspect of Mary’d personal identity: the divine motherhood. Listen in as we begin to discuss the reason for that ancient Marian title by which we call her—the Holy Theotokos.

So glad to have you here, feel free to leave a comment below!

"A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men." Today's episode features a deep-dive into children's classic 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.' Come along with us into a world of pure imagination as we talk about our favorite candy, whether or not Willy Wonka has led five unsuspecting children into his very own version of Dante's Inferno, and whether Grandpa Joe is really a terrible person (spoiler alert: he's the worst).
