 “When I converted to Catholicism,” Mark Shea tells host Doug Keck, “no one told me about all the accoutrements of the Catholic Church: the rosary, the prayers, the statues, the saints, the traditions, and especially, why Mary is such an object of honor.” Shea decided to search out the definitive answers on all things Catholic for himself and for his fellow converts, and the result is a 3-volume series that demystifies the sometimes-puzzling beauties and riches of Catholicism’s Queen Mother, Mary. Join Shea and Doug on this week’s Bookmark, for a lively discussion of Mary, Mother of the Son.
