The Biblical Case for Marian Devotion by Fr. Glenn Baaten

Our speaker for November 2024 was St. John Henry Newman's very own, Fr. Glenn Baaten, who is also the chaplain of the Santiago Retreat Center.As Christians, shouldn't we be only devoted to Christ? Isn't devotion to Mary idolatry? And if Mary is such an important figure, won't the Bible say so? These are some of the questions Fr. Glenn addressed in his talk. And also, since he's a convert from Protestantism, how did Fr. Glenn come to terms with this belief and practice?If you find Theology on Tap OC helpful, please prayerfully consider giving a one-time or recurring tax-deductible donation to our apostolate by texting CHEERS2JESUSto 84576 or by visiting our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠donation page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.And to sign up for our future events and receive updates (including ⁠⁠⁠St. John Henry Newman Catholic Church⁠⁠⁠⁠'s Friday Newsletters), go to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Schedule of Events⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ page.Follow us @theologyontapoc in ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠
