Episode Resources Article on Mary as the Biblical “Portent” or “Sign” of the Church, here. “Mary is a special young lady, but she is human and depraved, just as you and I are,” was the non-denominational pastor’s Christmas post this week.

Ironic, since—as a non-Catholic researching my way into the Catholic Church—my complete incredulity regarding the Church’s teachings on Mary cannot be overstated. I shared this Protestant pastor’s sentiment up to my full communion, and continued to harbor the suspicion for years afterward. Honestly? I was scandalized by the Church’s assertions that God predestined… A list of quotes from Church History regarding Mary as the Ark of the New Covenant, along with the year of the writing.
