Mary's Golden Age Pius XII today is often associated with the debate surrounding his assistance to Jews during World War II. But as his first encyclical turned seventy this month, a conference was held to reflect on one of the truly momentous contributions of this Pope to history: his Marian devotion and doctrine. The Tuesday conference marked the anniversary of Summi Pontificatus, as well as considering other topics of Pius XII's pontificate and magisterial teachings. The meeting, organized by the Pope Pacelli Committee and the journal Cultura & Libri, took place in Rome's Basilica of St. Lawrence Outside the Walls. Father Stefano De Fiores spoke on Pius XII and Mariology. Other themes included the encyclical Mediator Dei on sacred liturgy, Pius XII and World War II, ecclesiology, and this Pope's bioethics. The full texts of the speakers' talks will be published in a special issue of Cultura & Libri.... Click here for the complete article.

Our sole purpose is to report on items about Mary gleaned from a myriad of papers representing the secular press.
