What did the Cardinal Archbishop of Boston say? And when do all the sayings of all the different leaders of all the different churches come together and come up with a single saying? This happens time after time, with each question regarding Catholic doctrine. One says one thing, another claims something else, some just laugh at the questions, and eventually someone comes forward with official Catholic doctrine. So I’m asking you, is Cardinal Archbishop of Boston’s opinion the doctrine of the Catholic Church? Or has this particular question not be officially settled yet?
It's at the top of the thread.
What he didn't say was that we receive Mary in the Eucharist. He did said that Mary was present at the Eucharistic liturgy in the early church (well obviously: she was alive). He did say that Mary gave the body of Christ (not her own body) to Simeon. (I believe that's in your Bible.)
So I’m asking you, is Cardinal Archbishop of Boston’s opinion the doctrine of the Catholic Church?
One bishop does not determine doctrine any more than one layman does. But, as I said, I would trust his opinion more than that of a supposed priest I have never heard of supposedly recorded in a book I have never heard of.
Or has this particular question not be officially settled yet?
The church generally teaches something definitively only when there is a disagreement about it. I don't see much disagreement about this, therefore, no need for any infallible teaching.
If you look at perhaps the greatest Marian theologian the Catholic church has produced, St. Louis Marie de Montfort, he says nothing about us receiving Mary in the Eucharist, and lots about us receiving the Eucharist with Mary -- that is, Mary is not the One being received, Mary is the one doing the receiving with us. His point is that communion is our participation in the Annunciation; just as "Mary received the Word of God in her heart and her body" we are to do the same.
In case you think that doesn't do much to advance the (false) notion that Mary is a goddess or her son's equal, you're right. I expect it will be ignored.
