A potential convert from California wrote in with a super honest, thoughtful question that maybe you’ve wondered too:

"Why does it matter for our salvation if Mary was immaculately conceived, ever virgin, or assumed into heaven?"

Here's how Patrick lovingly and logically answered this question:

"If God Revealed It, It Matters"

The short and holy answer:

Because God chose to reveal it.

That’s the whole game. If the Lord wanted to make something known, whether directly through Scripture or through Apostolic Tradition, then it’s part of the deposit of faith.

He compared it to the fact that we don’t know the color of Jesus’ eyes, because that detail doesn’t impact salvation. But Marian dogmas have been preserved and proclaimed because they do.


Not Just Bible... Tradition Too

Patrick emphasized that while you can see hints and threads of these Marian teachings in Scripture, the explicit clarity often comes from Apostolic Tradition... which Catholics are commanded to follow.

He backed it up with solid Bible credentials:

2 Thessalonians 2:15 ➤ Hold fast to traditions, whether oral or written.

Matthew 28 ➤ Teach everything Jesus commanded; not just the parts we like.

Luke 10:16 ➤ “He who hears you, hears me…”

Rejecting what the Church teaches about Mary is not just rejecting a doctrine; it’s brushing aside Christ's own voice through His Church.


Not a Choose-Your-Own Gospel

The Church isn’t a salad bar. Jesus didn’t say “teach most of what I commanded”; He said “all.” The Church, in faithfulness to Him, passes that on, including truths about His Blessed Mother.


This episode was a gentle but firm invitation into the beauty of trusting what God has revealed.

Mary's story is not a footnote to salvation history; it's a key thread in the tapestry of grace.

Keep listening. Keep asking. And let Our Lady Walk with you on the journey.
