In the subject of Introduction in Mariology, the Catholic doctrine of the faith regarding the Blessed Virgin Mary will be presented in synthetic form. The theological reflection on Mary, which will be based on the main lines contained in the teaching of the Second Vatican Council, will also seek to link with the practice of the Church's Marian devotion and piety and seek to point out the ecumenical dimension of Mariology.
At the end of the course the student will be able to: - identify the basic sources of the teachings of Mary in Scripture and the Church's tradition, - explain and describe the genesis and content of the Catholic doctrine of the Blessed Virgin, - interpret the main lines of Mariology contained in Chapter 8 of Lumen Gentium and in the post-conciliar magisterium - to distinguish and critically assess forms of Marian piety and cult in the Church and to identify their impact on contemporary spirituality and pastoral practice - to grasp the importance of reflection on Mary for his/her own theological synthesis, spiritual life and pastoral practice, - to evaluate the ecumenical context of Mariology and its importance for Christian unity.
