Mary and the Modern Woman

Theologian Carrie Gress helps us to understand why the modern idea of womanhood often ends up being anti-woman, and why Mary can help us recover a true image of womanhood.

Questions Covered:

• 21:52 - I did Catechesis with my 17 year old daughter at home and it didn’t take. She doesn’t go to Church much. I always confess to my priest that I wasn’t a very good Catholic educator. Should I continue to confess because I didn’t form my daughter well?
• 28:00 - Did the Fathers talk about the woman in Proverbs 31 as a type of Mary?
• 33:41 - Why don’t we have nuns like we used to? Why have they been deemphasized?
• 41:55 - Can you  expound on the Priest who gave you marriage advice? 
• 45:30 - Was there ever a movement that recognized that not only should we apologize to Christ for our sins, but also to Mary for the indignities she’s suffered because of our sins?
• 51:05 - What did some of the earliest Christians say about Mary and her queenship, motherhood, and her intercession?
