Nov 08 – Homily – Fr Alan: Scotus the Subtle Doctor

Homily #141108b ( 13min) Play - Fr. Alan on the life of Bl. John Duns Scotus and how he he gave a lofty, subtle penetration of the divine nature and the centrality of Christ's Incarnation as the very reason for God's gratuitous act of love in in creating the universe. This maximized Christo-centrism, in turn, provided the theological basis for the Immaculate Conception of Mary, leading to its proclamation as a dogma of the Church in 1854.
