Marian Citizenship Course
with Dr. Andrew Salzmann
In this series of talks, Dr. Salzmann discusses the “theological core” that has shaped America since the Puritans first arrived and through the many changes to American culture that have followed. He suggests that a thoughtful plan for evangelization must consider how this “theological core” has changed over time and how it might be shaped in the future.
“Consecrated to the Immaculate:
Becoming Marian Americans”
ABOUT THIS COURSE?
Mary’s Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) is a profound prayer that demonstrates her deep love for her people and her hopes that God would deliver Israel. The Magnificat also reveals that Mary is the model of the exact attitudes and virtues which Israel needed to live its mission in God’s plan of salvation. The Church, in consecrating the United States to the Immaculate Conception, offers Mary as a model of the attitudes and virtues which American Catholics also need to live as faithful citizens today.
In this series of talks, Dr. Salzmann discusses the “theological core” that has shaped America since the Puritans first arrived and through the many changes to American culture that have followed. He suggests that a thoughtful plan for evangelization must consider how this “theological core” has changed over time and how it might be shaped in the future.
By reviewing six key themes from the Church’s doctrine about Mary (her divine motherhood, virginity, sinlessness, bodily assumption, co-redemption, and co-mediation) he proposes a “Marian subjectivity” — a Marian way of thinking, feeling, and acting—to help Americans live our national consecration to the Immaculate Heart and to transform culture in America.
