Interesting news article regarding Mary

[KC Catholic]

I'm 33 - my wife, a cradle Catholic is 32 and we consider ourselves Orthodox Catholics. We're finding that there are other people in our age groups who are looking for a more orthodox Catholic Church.

The only way we have been able to strengthen our knowledge of the Church is to study (with other folks) the writings of Scott Hahn, Carl Keaton and other apologists. And the posts by Wols and others at the Parlor have been encouraging.

We are very fortunate that we attend a truly orthodox and traditional Catholic Church.

Thanks and God Bless.

Whats the difference between regualr catholics and orthodox catholics.

There shouldn’t be any at all. orthodox is a person who adheres to the teachings of the Church.

It is not orthodox opposed to regular. It is orthodox opposed to heterodox. Orthodox Catholics are the true Catholics that hold to the teachings of the Church. Heterodox Catholics are Catholics that dissent from Catholic teaching.

Women theologians especially ``are bringing questions about the way Mary has traditionally been understood as passive and obedient. They see Mary's relationship to God in a more active, perhaps courageous, way,'' Beattie said.

``I think there is questionable merit in presenting a model of ideal femininity as essentially passive and obedient to a male God, and many women are saying this can lead to social and sexual relationships which are not healthy,'' she said.

``There is a hope among many women in the church that as we re-imagine Mary, we also re-imagine ourselves and society,'' Beattie said.

What is this wretched nonsense?? It makes me ill!!
