Marians

Robert talks with Mark Miravalle, a professor of Mariology at Fransican University of Steubenville, about his petition to the Pope. Miravalle wants the Pope to proclaim the Virgin Mary a co-redemptrix. He says the Virgin mary is the "advocate for the people of God" and cooperates fully with her son, Jesus Christ, in the redemption of mankind. He has hope that Pope John Paul II will ratify his petition because the Pope has described Mary as co-redemptrix on six occasions during his papacy. Also, he has dedicated his papacy to her, giving her credit for saving him from an assassination attempt in 1981.
