In this episode we discuss the Catholic dogma of the Assumption of Mary, exploring its historical roots in both Eastern and Western Christian traditions. We examine the language of the dogmatic definition, which intentionally leaves open the question of whether Mary died before being assumed into heaven, and discussed the two main interpretations: mortalist and immortalist. 

The conversation concluded with a brief overview of how the Assumption was defined by Pope Pius XII in 1950, noting the significant input from bishops and the faithful, and touched on the possibility of future Marian dogmas. So we will all stay tuned…

In this episode we discuss Mary’s Immaculate Conception. That’s right, Mary’s, not Jesus’. We discuss the theology, the Sacred Scripture references, and the Church father’s belief of the Immaculate Conception from the beginning of the Church.

We also discuss the council that declared, not added, the dogma to the official Church record. The history behind why it needed to be declared and what we know today. This dogma is not more special than the other but it is a more commonly used name for Our Lady. Heck, we even named our Apostolate after it… the Immaculata Institute.

We discuss many arguments, and debates about her virginity and give answers found in Holy Scripture and the Church Fathers. We hope you enjoy this very important but some would say touchy subject. But if you want to fully understand more, you know where to go… to Mary!
