Virgin Mary in the News!

Mary in the News

NEWSWEEK, August 25, 1997-"The secret of Mary's mysterious power may be just this: having no history of her own, she entices every new generation to draw her portrait. The Bible offers only scraps to build on . . . From this meager line of development, Mary gradually grew in stature. Astonishingly, this obscure Jewish mother absorbed and transformed the most powerful pagan goddesses. She was the Madonna who gives life, but also the pieta who receives the dead. Once asceticism became the privileged road to Christian holiness, she became the perpetual virgin, the model of chastity and self-denial. In 431, the Council of Ephesus issued the first dogmatic statement of Mary: she was to be honored as Theotokos, the Godbearer or Mother of God . . . In the 19th century, long after many Protestant reformers had rejected the cult of the Virgin as popish nonsense, Pope Pius IX proclaimed the Immaculate Conception Catholic dogma."

Three-fourths of the world's population adores the madonna goddess--of course Roman Catholics, but many Protestants, Moslems, Hindus, Buddists, Native Americans, Tribal Religions, Pagans, New Agers, Wiccans--all honor and adore the "virgin goddess". It is important that the world be warned of this almost overmastering deception. We will inform you of Marian "miracles", "wonders", and newsworthy items and events as we receive reports.

  • SPECIAL REPORT:
    "MARY BOOKS" DISTRIBUTED SOUTH-OF-THE-BORDER

    HERMISILLO, MEXICO: January 30, 2001 - Mexico is one of the largest Catholic nations in the world. With a population that is nearly 90% Roman Catholic, the burden to reach these dear neighbors to the south with the truth of the Gospel of Christ burned in the hearts of a group of believers from Sacramento, California. When Modern Manna heard of their plans to drive from northern California to several hundred miles into northwestern Mexico (more than 1,000 miles from Sacramento) to distribute literature, Director Danny Vierra, without hesitation, volunteered to donate 10,000 copies of Is the Virgin Mary Dead or Alive? in Spanish for their trip.

  • PETITIONERS WANT MARY SEATED BESIDE CHRIST: Group asks pope to elevate her from being an adviser to being a co-redeemer
    San Diego Union-Tribune - Friday, January 5, 2001 (New York Times News Service) - If [Mark Miravalle]'s campaign succeeds and [John Paul II] proclaims the Virgin Mary as a co-redeemer, she would be a vastly more powerful figure, something close to a fourth member of the Holy Trinity and the primary female face through which Christians experience the divine.

  • SPECIAL: "MARY BOOKS" DISTRIBUTED AT CALIFORNIA FESTIVAL VENERATING MARY
    THORNTON, CA, OCT. 15, 2000 - In the "Catholic nations" of the world, such as Mexico, Guatamala, Cuba, Philippines, and many others, veneration to Mary is carried on with a fervant devotion, often celebrating with parades, carrying statues of the virgin through the streets of the cities, with participants often demonstrating their worthiness and carrying out penance by floggings and by walking the parade route barefooted. Once upon a time, Americans would have looked upon such a parade of ardent devotion and chantings in honor of statues of Mary as something that could only take place on the news and in a foreign country. But not so today. . .A small band of workers was there to distribute the booklet, Is the Virgin Mary Dead or Alive? to the crowds venerating statues of Mary in Thornton, California.
