I had a Catholic priest tell me he would debate Our Blessed Mother Mary with me after I read this book. I browsed through a copy of the book and in the few pages I read found it to be another feminist approach to make Mary more like us. Has anyone read the book? As an Orthodox Catholic, would you recommend it? Why would a priest want to debate Mary using this book?
I find that, as in the Da Vince Code, people wish to make Jesus and His Mother more like us because it is easier for them. If Our Lord and HIs Mother are more like us, we don’t have to change. It is much harder for us to strive for holiness like Jesus and Mary. No wonder Our Lady is crying in so may apparitions and through her statues, etc. She IS one of us, but the Almighty God surely made her special to be the Mother of God. As a woman, I have no problem with that. I do have a problem with Mary as my sister. Jesus gave her to us to be our Mother.
