"If a soul loses her devotion to Mary, she will immediately be full of darkness, and that darkness of which the Holy Ghost says: 'Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night; in it shall the beasts of the woods go about.'"
"This divine mother, with her powerful prayers and assistance, has obtained for us paradise, if we place no obstacle to our entrance there. Wherefore those who are servants of Mary, and for whom Mary intercedes, are as secure of paradise as if they were already there."
"Our Lady wants me to go to two hospitals, not to be cured but to suffer more for love of Our Lord and for sinners."
What were the origins of beliefs such as the ones above? How do they compare against the revealed Word of God? Who is Our Lady and how can we know if she is the Mary of the Bible? Where do these "revelations" take the believer who believes these are of God?
These questions are examined in depth in Mary, Mary; Quite the Contrary with startling conclusions for the Marion follower.
This book delves into centuries of Marian devotion and juxtaposes traditional teachings with scriptural accounts of Mary, mother of Jesus.
“Mary, Mary; Quite the Contrary” presents a fresh theological analysis that investigates the disparity between traditional Marian devotion and biblical scripture. Written by first-time author Joey Massang, the book critically examines centuries-old beliefs about Mary, mother of Jesus, and explores their development through the lens of apostolic teachings.
This work contrasts the Mary portrayed in biblical accounts with the Mary revered in tradition. Drawing from scripture, church history, and personal study, Massang investigates the divergence between apostolic Christianity and traditions built around Marian apparitions, visions, and doctrines. The narrative considers where these deviations have led followers — spiritually and theologically — and what risks such divergence may pose to faith communities.
“For those who want to look beyond the veil, this book shows how beliefs were created and further developed until there came to be a wide chasm between orthodox belief and the true Gospel,” the author states. “It gives insight needed for those who wish to understand and pray for Marion followers.”
“Mary, Mary; Quite the Contrary” raises questions about spiritual discernment. It also encourages dialogue among Christians on both sides of the divide over Marian theology.
