This week’s guest is a mentor and kind of spiritual mother to Milo Yiannopoulos (whose very candid interview with me was Episode 101) and wrote the bracing Foreword to his latest book (see link below). Dr Rachel Fulton Brown is a tenured professor of history at the University of Chicago, and a renowned medieval scholar with a speciality in the area of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

She is also a fervent convert to the Catholic Faith. In this episode we dive deep into the biblical and historical roots of the role of the Blessed Mother in salvation history, and suggest ways to answer objections to the truth about Mary.

In this episode you will learn:

Why we say Mary is the Mother of God and not just the Mother of Jesus
Why all Marian doctrine is Christological in nature
How the medieval era got things right regarding the role of Mary in the life of the Church
When devotion to Mary went into eclipse and how to revive it
Why Our Lady is a powerful intercessor for all mankind, not just Catholics
The reason why all the titles of Mary in all the litanies can never exhaust her beauty nor the full truth about her person and mission.
