What does the Catholic Church teach concerning Mary? How are we to relate to her as body of Christ? Are the doctrines held by the Church useless additions or a part of the deposit of Faith?
Since Mary is such a point of contention for non Catholics, I have broken this study into THREE parts. In the first part, we take a close look at the first two official teachings of the Church:
1. The Immaculate Conception
2. Mary, Ever Virgin
This video is a mixture of music, images, illustrations, and rich content that comes from scripture, the Catechism, and the testimony of the early Church...
Part Two will look at the final doctrine of Mary's Assumption into Heaven.
The section will close with Part Three by responding to many other common objections. Some final reflective questions will be posed and an encouragment to go further in study.
Like my other sections, I do want to give you web links and book refererences for further study. Also see other videos at my channel under 'favorites'. Many other people have done fine treatments on issues related to Mary:

There are chapters in the following books that go into great detail with these issues:
'Catholic Christianity' by Peter Kreeft
'Biblical Defense of Catholicism' and 'More Biblical Evidence for Catholicism' by Dave Armstrong
'Catholicism and Fundamentalism' by Karl Keeting
'Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic' David Currie
'The New Eve' and 'The Development of Christian Doctrine' by John Henry Newman
'Haily, Holy Queen' by Scott Hahn
'Introduction to Mary' by Mark Miravalle

@7propitious No problem! I know Mary is usually a huge barrier for many people. So if you think this helps anyone pass it on!
