Missing Mary: The Queen of Heaven and Her Re-Emergence in the Modern Church by Charlene Spretnak
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2.0 MB
Overview: Was Vatican II right to downgrade the Virgin Mary? This fall marks the fortieth anniversary of the final session of Vatican II (1962-65) at which the Roman Catholic Church brought itself “up to date”–and, asserts Spretnak, fired the Virgin Mary as Queen of Heaven, demoting her to being “just like us,” merely the first Christian. Spretnak, a liberal Catholic who agrees with 95% of Vatican II’s decisions, cuts across the battle lines of a polarized American Catholic Church, challenging Catholic progressives not to acquiesce to the Catholic Right’s claiming of the Virgin Mary as emblematic of their political positions. This is a book about religion and modernity that has reframed the thinking about Mary in our times.
