Roman Catholic Doctrine on the Virgin Mary
RELATED TOPICS
SERMONS, ESSAYS AND OPINIONS
CONTENTS

Like other Christian denominations, the Roman Catholic Church teaches Mary, a virgin, was the mother of Jesus. Unlike many other denominations however, it also teaches that Mary was born without original sin (the Immaculate Conception) as well as other doctrines not usually accepted by other Christian denominations.

Marian Dogma

Theotokos

Perpetual virginity of Mary

This doctrine asserts that she had no children before Jesus or after Him.

Immaculate Conception

This doctrine teaches that Mary was born without original sin, and was therefore sinless throughout her life.

Assumption of Mary

This teaches that because of her sinlessness, Mary never experienced a physical death – the result of sin. Instead, she was raised bodily into the presence of Christ.

Roman Catholicism: Co-Redemptrix

This doctrine holds that the obedience and sufferings of Mary were involved in securing the full redemption bought by Christ.

Hyperdulia - Special veneration

This teaching holds that because of her unparalleled role in salvation, Mary is worthy of special veneration and devotion. There are three specific terms of worship and veneration in Catholicism: latria – adoration that is due God alone, dulia – veneration afforded to the saints, and hyperdulia – special veneration given to Mary.

Marian prayers

Rosary

Marian apparitions
