Even when you read the stuff about Mary being the New Eve, you read, for instance, about how

Mary unties the knot of Eve's disobedience by her obedience. That's in Uranus in 180. That's as old

was called the Dicastry for the doctrine of faith. It was the CDF before, DDF now. Just released a

document called Monterepopopulate Fidelis. Warning against those two titles in particular, it's

particularly averse to co-redemptrix. And we'll get into all of the

details of why, what we can, what we can't say about Mary's role, and unpack a little more

her. I will say already, I've seen some triumphalistic

posts from Protestants who claim this is a doctrinal reversal, that, you know, this is something

that Rome once claimed was true with divine authority. And all of that is just, like, not true.

I had someone spamming my page on Facebook just saying,
