[QUOTE="AnonymousBosch, post: 1251215, member: 5255"] A quick word about a movie like 'Jesus of Nazareth'. The Catholic idea of Mary is far more complex than in an American Denomination Presentation. We believe Mary is part of the Redemption Process, as a New Eve, undoing mankind's Fall with the New Adam (Jesus). She becomes the Ark of the New Covenant, a living tabernacle that carries the Christ Child. She doesn't huff and puff and sweat and give birth to Jesus: she falls into a trance and he passes out her side, the same way Eve was taken from Adam's rib. At Calvary, she undoes the sin of Eve, by obeying God's will, putting the fruit (Jesus) back on the tree (the Cross). Golgotha, where the crucifixion happens, is known as the 'Mount of the Skull'. Catholic tradition teaches this is referring to Adam's Skull - which is buried underneath where Jesus is crucified. This adds incredibly-richness, symmetry and perfection to God's plan for the Redemption. Note the Douay Rheims translation ('she shall crush thy head') and the King James ('he will strike at your head') have different translations of whom finally does Satan in, so those who follow those translations won't understand her significance the way Catholics do. Also, many aspects of the Passion are also about undoing the Old Covenant: for example, the blood that flows from Jesus' side is to mirror the blood that would wash from the Temple after Animal Sacrifices had been accepted for sin. There were to be no more blood sacrifices after this in the New Covenant, or it would offend God. Denominations that disregard Mary seem to want to built the Third Temple in Israel, opposing God's Will. Mary is said to be a powerful ally against Demonic Deception. [/QUOTE]
