True Devotion

“True Devotion” has always born the stigma of “Marian exaggeration,” but it is interesting to recall that, when Dr. Pusey pressed this accusation, the champion of de Montfort’s teaching proved to be no less a figure than the learned and saintly Cardinal Newman. Probably Saint Louis Marie de Montfort would not state his teaching today in the same theological terms, but he would insist on the same profound relationship between Mary and each member of the Church.
