Summary

A whole lot of Roman Catholics around the world awoke today to deep disappointment. Not only did the new Papal document, Mater Papuli Fidelis, not define the 5th Marian dogma, it was, evidently, meant to be the stake in the heart of the movement to have that dogma defined. This was quite a shock to many, but in reality, this new document proves once again one fundamental reality: Rome operates on her own authority (sola ecclesia) and does not have access to anything that is truly "Apostolic tradition." We dive into the topic, and the documentation, today on the program, but will need to finish up on Thursday. This is a pretty important discussion of a central and current discussion relating to modern Roman Catholicism.

a document, a statement from the Vatican, a doctrinal statement coming out today. And so I knew by the time we got up here in the United States, the contents of that document would be would have been made available. And there were a bunch of people speculating, hoping that this would be a definition of the fifth

1:31.1

Marian dogman.

1:33.2

Believe me, when stuff like that is going to be defined, like when the bodily assumption

1:38.2

of Mary was defined, everybody knew it was coming.

1:41.6

It wasn't a surprise.

1:42.8

It wasn't described as a doctrinal statement or something like that.

1:49.0

So I was skeptical that it would be something that big.

1:54.6

But boy, there were a lot of Roman Catholics hoping it would be. Why?

1:57.5

Because millions and millions and millions of petitions have been turned in the Vatican

2:02.8

over the past 40 years, calling for the definition of the fifth Marian dogma, which is,

2:13.6

which as argued, I know the cover of this looks weird.

2:19.3

This is interesting.

2:23.4

Yeah.

2:23.8

Oh, interesting.
