Our Lady and her Immaculate
Conception is central to our salvation, because just as Our Blessed Lord
inherited His humanity -- His Jewish humanity -- through
her, and thus could in Himself fulfill all the previous Covenants that God
had made with the Patriarchs (the first Covenant being with all Creation, of
course, and the second with Adam and Eve, and so on), over time creating,
fashioning, the Jewish People in the process, preparing the way for His
Incarnation -- so we, through our participation in the Incarnartion via the
Most Holy Eucharist (itself the New
Testament, New Covenant, not the 27 books of the Christian Bible), receive His
Divinized Humanity. Being Incarnated ourselves in
the Incarnation now, with our natures changed, is the core of the Faith, and it
is something all Protestantism denies -- and denied from the very beginning.
And so
our Blessed Mother's Immaculate Conception is the first step in the Incarnation
of the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, and
our own incarnation in Him, we ourselves via the Most Holy Eucharist having
Jewish blood in our arteries along with His Divinized Nature, with the Blessed
Mother truly being OUR Mother
now.
ALL OF THIS the Modernists
and their tiresome, quasi-Lutheran, (cretinous, actually), teaching denies.
Their understanding of what the Faith is is defective, based as they do base it
on Evolution, our evolution in "understanding" and even "God's
evolution". This is the unholy seed Protestantism bequeated them when it
started, and that has since grown hideous, and it is what they want to foist on
the Catholic Church, and what we Trad/Orthodox/Conservative Catholics
repudiate.
There can
be no "middle ground" with the Modernists.
