The 5 Sins Against the Immaculate Heart, Part III: Against Mary’s Divine Motherhood

The 5 Sins Against the Immaculate Heart, Part III: Against Mary’s Divine Motherhood

Author: World Apostolate of Fatima, USA December 4, 2025 Duration: 33:10
In this episode, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran continue the series on the five sins that wound the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Today they reflect on the blasphemies spoken against Mary’s Divine Motherhood, a truth defended by the early Church and proclaimed at the Council of Ephesus. Barb and Katie explain why Mary is rightly called Mother of God, how this dogma protects the truth about Christ’s identity, and why denying her Divine Motherhood impacts our understanding of her mission and our faith. They also discuss the roots of this teaching, the Nestorian heresy, and the spiritual importance of honoring Mary as both the Mother of Jesus and our spiritual mother. As always, they connect these teachings to the First Saturday devotion and the call to offer reparation through prayer and love. Watch out for Episode 4, where Barb and Katie continue the series with the next sin against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
