He points out how the ancient tradition of devotion to the Blessed Mother is not just proper to Catholicism, but to the entire Christian tradition.

At this crossroads between a desire for authentic teaching of the Church and the various limitations of our life situations, stands The Catholic Distance University. We talk with Dr. Marianne Mount, President of CDU.
