Currently Playing: Sam Shamoun Shows Protestant Why Mary Is So Important To Catholics

Sam Shamoun talks with a caller whose wife comes from a Protestant background and struggles with how much emphasis Orthodoxy places on Mary compared to figures like Paul who wrote far more of the New Testament. Sam explains that the liturgical calendar actually honors hundreds of saints throughout the year, including Paul and the apostles, and that Paul's letters are read constantly as part of the liturgy itself, but Mary is uniquely honored because she carried God in the fullness of his divinity in her own body. He walks through Luke 11:27-28, showing that the common Protestant reading of "blessed is the womb that bore you" actually contradicts itself once you bring in the Holy Spirit filling Elizabeth and declaring Mary blessed among women, and points out that Jesus's own words about being blessed for hearing and keeping God's word apply directly back to Mary's "let it be to me according to your word." From there Sam builds the case for Mary as queen mother, tracing the Old Testament pattern of the Davidic king's mother holding the position of queen, using Solomon honoring Bathsheba as a parallel, and argues that if Solomon bowed to and honored his mother despite her past sin, Jesus as the greater Solomon would honor his sinless mother even more. He closes by affirming that scripture teaches some believers hold greater rank and honor than others, pushing back on the idea that everyone in heaven shares identical standing.
