About this Episode
In this episode, Fr. Edward speaks with author Diego Pasadore about his new book Mary, the New Woman, a fresh Judeo-Christian exploration of the Immaculate Conception. Diego shares how an unexpected inspiration during Mass led him into three years of biblical research, studying Jewish texts, the Church Fathers, and even private revelations such as those of Anne Catherine Emmerich.
Together they discuss Mary as the New Woman/New Eve, the theological roots of the dogma, and the rich symbolism connecting Mary to the Ark of the Covenant. Diego explains how ancient sources and mystical traditions converge to illuminate Mary’s unique role in salvation history, while Fr. Edward highlights the Church’s long tradition of developing these insights.
A fascinating conversation for anyone seeking a deeper biblical and historical understanding of Mary’s conception and her place in Christian doctrine.
