Protestant “Motherless Christianity” Is a Half Gospel

From Totus Catholica

Most Christians agree: Jesus is the center of the Gospel. But here’s the uncomfortable truth—when you remove His mother, you don’t just lose Mary. You lose part of Christ Himself. A “motherless Christianity” isn’t neutral—it’s theologically incomplete. It risks presenting a Jesus whose humanity is abstract, whose incarnation is detached from covenant history, and whose Church lacks familial depth. 📌 In this video, we show why honoring Mary isn’t a Catholic add-on—it’s essential to the full Gospel proclaimed by the Apostles, defended at Ephesus, and lived by the early Church. From Galatians 4;4 to John 19;27, Scripture places Mary at the heart of salvation—not as a distraction, but as the human hinge through which the Word became flesh. ✨ What You’ll Learn in This Video: 📖 Why Galatians 4;4 (“born of a woman”) makes Mary non-negotiable for Christology 🌟 How rejecting Theotokos (“Mother of God”) unravels the Incarnation—as the Council of Ephesus (431 AD) warned 👑 Mary as the New Eve—St. Irenaeus’ ancient insight that shaped orthodoxy 🕊️ Jesus’ final act on the Cross: “Behold, your mother” (John 19;26–27)—not sentiment, but ecclesial reality 🙏 Why Marian devotion leads to Christ, never away from Him (“Do whatever He tells you” – John 2;5) ⏳ Chapters: 0:00 – The Half Gospel of “Motherless Christianity” 1:27 – You Can’t Separate Jesus from His Mother 2:52 – The Incarnation Is a Family Story 3:47 – Mary in Scripture: From Annunciation to Calvary 4:50 – What the Early Church Believed (Irenaeus, Cyril, Liturgy) 6:35 – What Marian Devotion Actually Does 7:50 – Addressing Common Objections 8:36 – Four Steps to Embrace the Full Gospel 📖 Key Scripture & References: Galatians 4;4 – “God sent forth his Son, born of a woman.” Luke 1;28–38 – The Annunciation: “Hail, full of grace…” John 2;1–5 – “Do whatever he tells you.” John 19;26–27 – “Behold, your mother.” CCC 487 – “What the Church believes about Mary is based on what it believes about Christ.” CCC 495 – Mary is “the mother of my Lord” (Luke 1;43)—a title safeguarding Christ’s divinity and humanity CCC 964 – “Mary is truly ‘Mother of God’ since she is the mother of the eternal Son… She is our mother in the order of grace.” St. Irenaeus, Against Heresies 3.22.4 – “The knot of Eve’s disobedience was untied by Mary’s obedience.” Lumen Gentium §66 – “Mary’s role in the Church is inseparable from her union with Christ.”
