“No one can add to revelation. That was given once for all; – but as time goes on,
what was given once for all is understood more and more clearly.”


St. Cdl. John Henry Newman

Yes we should spend hours and hours and hours discussing whether or not Mary was a virgin. And then more hours, and then more hours.

Because this will solve all the worlds problems. There is Nothing More important to discuss.

If there is no difficulty in saying that Eve was created without sin – if there is no risk of turning her into a deity – what is the great difficulty in saying that Mary was created without sin?

I was thinking about this today. Maybe our Protestant friends choose not to believe all Catholicism teaches about Mary but I do not understand the hostility. Won't we all be without sin in heaven? Why couldn't God create a human without original sin to bear His Son? Why wouldn't He? It is in fact appropriate for Him to do so.

Do you spend a lot of time searching for articles to stir the pot with “Protestants”?

The problem, of course, is that there is no end to development of doctrine, such that a woman can be called a man and vice-versa, because “what was given once for all is understood more and more clearly.”

This is the claim made over and over again by the US Supreme Court in setting forth its more and more radical doctrines.
