You will discover that the response you get to any talk about “types” in the Old Testament—which what the Church’s “Sacred Tradition” is mostly about—will be met with scorn. “You’re just making all that up. The Garden of Eden, the Ark of the Covenent, manna, etc., all has absolutely nothing to do with Mary—or Jesus.”

Protestantism lost contact with the spiritual meaning of the Old Testament—i.e., what it has to teach us about Jesus, Mary, the sacraments, the spiritual progress of the Christian, etc.—very early on.

Another false accusation by you...There are many types and figures and shadows in the O.T...But Mary and the Ark of the Covenant is not one of them...
