Ave Maria!
In this segment of our mini series on Recent Vatican Documents Fr. Fessio discusses the Covering Letter to the "Motu Proprio" Summorum Pontificum. In this letter pope Benedict XVI addresses confusing and speculative reports in the media prior to the release of the Motu Proprio and strong reaction to these reports both positive and negative. The pope says the two fears that sparked most of the opposition are that allowing the old rite would:
1. be a detraction from the authority of the Second Vatican Council and its liturgical reform, and
2. lead to disarray and division in parish communities.
Come listen to Fr. Fessio as he covers the thoughts of the Holy Father in regard to these fears based on the Cover Letter but also based on his own familiarity with the pope's position on the liturgy. In the process he covers the true nature of the reform of Vatican II, the bad interpretations of that reform (and resulting damage) and where the Holy Father wants the reform of the reform to go in relation to the old liturgy. Fr. Fessio also adds many of his own insights.

Fr. Angelo explains how the book of Genesis contains the 'First Gospel' which gives us a first look at the constant war against Satan. St. Maximilian Kolbe understood that Our Lady was the answer to winning the battle, and that she would indeed crush the head of the serpent.

The AirMaria Crew, minus our Roving Reporter, friar Roderic, recently went to Cleveland, Ohio, for the Catholic Marketing Network's Trade Show.
Fr. Joseph Fessio, S.J. was the principal celebrant for the Holy Mass on Thursday morning, and afterwards we caught up with him, to do a series of several parts, on the recent documents released by Pope Benedict XVI. Fr. Fessio is a close friend of the Holy Father and in this short series he explains these documents with insights from this unique perspective.
This first episode is an explanation of the very recent Apostolic Letter "Motu Proprio" Summorum Pontificum which our Holy Father, Pope Benedict released on 07/07/07 concerning the use of the Roman Missal promulgated by John XXIII in 1962.
We are very blessed to have Fr. Fessio agree to do this series for AirMaria and we hope you will not only enjoy it, but will gain a higher appreciation for how our Holy Father is guiding his flock with wisdom and prudence.

We are so blessed to have Dr. Mark Miravalle, Professor of Theology and Mariology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, host this new inspirational series on AirMaria entitled Coredemptrix, Mediatrix, & Advocate, which will present and explain these roles of Mary to help prepare the way for a possible definition of the 5th Marian Dogma.
In this first episode Dr. Mark clearly explains Our Blessed Lady\'s role as Coredemptrix by first underscoring what Coredemptrix does not mean i.e. that she is not God, that she is not equal with Jesus, and that she is not the Fourth person of the Blessed Trinity.
We hope you will enjoy watching this series as much as we did filming it. We also hope that this series will help to dispel all the many misconceptions and misunderstandings of Our Blessed Lady\'s role in the salvation of the human race and inspire you to greater love of Mary and her Son, Jesus.
