Marian Apologetics Dossier: Defending the Faith Concerning Mary
Marian apologetics is the rational and theological defense of the Catholic faith concerning the Virgin Mary. This Marian apologetics dossier gathers biblical, patristic, and magisterial arguments to answer the main objections against the Marian dogmas: the Immaculate Conception, the Divine Motherhood, the Perpetual Virginity, and the Assumption into Heaven. Marian apologetics starts from Sacred Scripture (cf. Lk 1:26-38; Lk 1:42) and from the Tradition of the Church to shed light on Mary’s unique place in the divine plan. It also shows the continuity between the Mother of the Lord announced in the Prophets and the Theotókos proclaimed at Ephesus (431). This Marian apologetics resource is intended for Catholics, catechists, and students who wish to defend Marian doctrine with sound grounding and with charity.
