The Virgin Mary, Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all Graces.: The Fifth Dogma (Catena Aurea English Book 12)

The Virgin Mary, Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all Graces presents a rigorous, readable examination of one of the most debated and emotionally charged topics in modern Catholic theology: the role of Mary in the economy of salvation.
