The Visitation And Other Thoughts About Mary
Description
This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador Of Nonsense) discuss The Visitation--the second joyful mystery of the rosary. They ponder whether or not Joseph knew about Mary's pregnancy at the time. It would seem that Elizabeth knew--even though there's no record of her having been told. Why didn't Zechariah believe the angel? And what does this all have to do with modern (and not so modern) Marian apparitions? Fatima, Lordes, Guadalupe?
