• 6 Minute Read Mary. There’s something about her, so they say. Protestants haven’t known what to do with her. I’ve seen two basic trends. 1) Protestants who ignore Mary’s subversive joy. 2) Protestants who run from Mary’s miracle. Both of these trends are troubling. Many “traditionalists” ignore Mary (for the most part) because of the “Catholic” thing (insert eye roll here). In their ignorance, beyond the images in Christmas cards and in attempting to prove Jesus was God due to the miraculous virgin conception, they lose the power emanating from Mary’s song and testimony about God’s good work to overthrow the powerful and oppressive of this world. She was a prophet who took a stand with the powerless, empowered by her powerful God. The Romans and those like them, do not stand a chance in the grand scheme.
