Mary, Henry Adams, and the Catholic Mind
Ah, this is a beautiful post – don’t miss it.
Not beautiful in a POD sense, but beautiful in the sociological sense. It took me years before I finally “got” Mary and the language of Catholic piety towards her. There is a bit of a theological problem when it comes to the failure of the medieval mind to attribute mercy to the Holy Trinity – but it’s not a fatal problem, and in the end it proves not to be true, because it is the Holy Trinity Who ultimately gave mankind the Mother of Divine Grace. God knows that for most men, the most convincing face of mercy is feminine.

Thank you for the link. I was worried the post might be misunderstood. Yours is a great observation: “God knows that for most men, the most convincing face of mercy is feminine.”
