The Mariology of Gabriel Roschini

During the pontificate of Pius XII, “the most Marian Pope in Church history” [7] Roschini worked closely with the Pontiff, arranging his own publications parallel to Papal mariological promulgations. [8] During and after the Vatican council, Roschini tried to adjust to the colder mariological spirit in his 1973 publication Il misteri di Maria considerato alle luce del mistero di Christo e della Chiesa, an updated four volume mariology.

Together he published over 900 titles, mostly on mariology, in addition to his encyclopedic works, reviewing the mariological contributions of saints like, Bernard of Chiavelle and Anthony of Padua. Mariology is the theological study of Mary which methodically presents teachings about her to other parts of the faith such as teachings about Jesus Christ, redemption A saint (from the Latin sanctus) is a human being to whom has been attributed (and who has generally demonstrated a high level of Holiness and Sanctity Saint Anthony ( August 15, 1195 – June 13, 1231) also venerated as Saint Anthony of Lisbon and Saint Anthony of Padua, In 1950, he explained the mariology of Thomas Aquinas. He detailed his mariology in a major work in the year 1952. Year 1952 ( MCMLII) was a Leap year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar.

Earlier, Roschini had contributed with a new interpretation to the mariological theology of the Co-Redemptrix, which was not universally accepted. Mariology is the theological study of Mary which methodically presents teachings about her to other parts of the faith such as teachings about Jesus Christ, redemption Co-Redemptrix in Roman Catholic Mariology refers to the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the redemption process In his 1946 publication Compendium Mariologiae he explains, that Mary did not only participates in birth of the physical Jesus, but, with conception, she entered with him into a spiritual union. The divine salvation plan, being not only material, includes a permanent spiritual unity with Christ. Most mariologists agree with this position. [9] Roschini entered new theological territory, when he defined the spiritual unity of Mary and Christ to form a "salvation pair", in which Mary is a true helper of her son. However, in this salvation duo, Mary is clearly subordinated to her son, according to Roschini, who, not wanting to elevate Mary to the level of divinity, insists that Mary needed salvation through Christ like all other persons. [10] But, because she is the Mother of God, the only Mother of God among all humans, Mary is a unique species, different from all others. She shares only human nature with the rest of humanity. She belongs to Christ, whith whom she is spiritually united. [11]

Gabriel Roschini on Maria Valtorta

Internet citations most often invoke Roschini as a supporter of Maria Valtorta’s somewhat controversial book, The Poem of the Man God. Maria Valtorta ( 14 March 1897 – † 12 October 1961) was an Italian writer and Poet, considered by many to be a mystic The Poem of the Man God (Italian title Il Poema dell'Uomo-Dio) is a multi volume book of about four thousand pages on the life of Jesus Christ written by the Italian Roschini's book, The Virgin Mary in the Writings of Maria Valtorta, [12] provides an exegesis of the favorable representation of Mary in the Poem. The Virgin Mary in the Writings of Maria Valtorta is a book on the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary written by the respected Mariologist Father Gabriel At first, Roschini was skeptical of the Poem’s authenticity but upon studying the work grew to appreciate it as a private revelation, concluding “We find ourselves facing an effect (her work) which seems to be beyond its cause (Maria Valtorta)” (p. In the teaching of the Catholic Church, a private revelation is a particular Revelation to a specific Christian 7). He wrote: "The Mariology found in Maria Valtorta's writings, whether published or not, has been for me a real discovery. Maria Valtorta ( 14 March 1897 – † 12 October 1961) was an Italian writer and Poet, considered by many to be a mystic "

He presided over the services of Valtorta’s “privileged burial,” in which her remains were relocated from Viareggio to the Santissima Annunziata Basilica in Florence in 1973. Viareggio (which means "way of the kings" is a city located in northern Tuscany, on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
