Mary: Exterminatrix of Heresies
March 14th, 2008
OK, here’s an image you usually don’t associate with Roman Catholic Marian piety, and practices, which some might prefer to refer to as Mariolotry. This is a new on me. I present Mary: Exterminatrix of Heresies. And, no, I’m not making this up. I got this from a Roman Catholic blog site and confirmed that this is legitimate.

That title makes sense since the importance of her position as theotokos was to vanquish heresies that arose within the Church and were dealt with in the ecumenical councils.
She looks a bit somber in the icon however.
Thanks for the many interesting blog posts, which I often read.
Blessings.
