Protestant Scholars Are Hiding This Secret About Mary (The Early Church Knew)

From Totus Catholica

Protestant Scholars ADMIT This About Mary (Then Hide It!) Many assume Catholic Marian beliefs are “medieval inventions”—but leading Protestant scholars quietly admit the opposite. In academic commentaries, footnotes, and journals, respected evangelical, Reformed, and Anglican theologians acknowledge: Mary’s perpetual virginity Her role as the New Eve The early Church’s veneration of her as “All-Holy” Yet these truths rarely make it into sermons or public teaching.
