Hi folks! This is just a follow up to my last post that included a full article on Mary as “Undoer of Knots”. This post, however, includes a Youtube response down below that I posted in my “Notes” on Substack. But since “Notes” are not automatically seen by all Subsribers (unless you sign in online to the Substack feed), I thought I would share the video here, too. The article that you already received is straight-forward theology and reflection; however, the video explains what got me thinking about the topic and why. :)
See article here:
Untying the Knot: Mary, the New Eve, and the Wisdom of St. Irenaeus
When St. Irenaeus of Lyons wrote in the second century that “The knot of Eve’s disobedience was untied by the obedience of Mary,” he wasn’t introducing a new dogma or elevating Mary to the status of a goddess. Rather, he was articulating a profound truth rooted in Scripture, tradition, and the early Church’s understanding of salvation history.
