Trinitarian Mediation and Mary (BONUS: Franciscans vs Thomists) – Kolbe Seminar #17
Views 387
Looking at the second part of Chapter 6 in Peter Damian Fehlner's The Theologian of Auschwitz, we discuss the Trinitarian foundation for Mary's mediation in the Economy of Salvation and how this connects to themes of Communio, so precious to Saint John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI.
We find that looking to the function of the Holy Spirit inside the Trinity illumines the place of Mary in the One Mediation of Jesus Christ, and how the Oneness of this mediation doesn't prevent but opens up subordinate mediation.
We also speak about the Primacy of Christ, always conceived of as in a one-flesh union with his bride, questions of Nature vs. Supernature, Augustine's analogy between the mind (memory, intellect, will) and the Trinity, differences between Franciscans and Thomists, and Mary's place in the economy as preventing the Economic of Salvation from being collapsed back into the inner life of the Trinity.
