Can I ask a question? Who gives a hoot about what "modern woman" thinks? Or "modern man" for that matter? Should we not be leading "modern man and woman" towards the true Mary as found in our 2,000 year Catholic Tradition? Or should we rather try to cherry pick certain facts of Our Lady's life, give them a feminist "spin", ignore those facts that are "upsetting" to "modern woman" and then hope that "modern woman" is somehow impressed enough by this facade to convert? And if she does "convert" what is she converting to? The Catholic Faith or the "modern" representation of it we sold her?
If anything, most "modern women" would be offended at this appeal and simply argue with His Holiness that Catholicism is patriarchal and oppressive anyway. The modern pastoral approach of the Church seems to believe the madness that these people can be persuaded to the Truth by trying to dress it up, caricature it, and make it more palatable to them through clever phraseology. We see how well this approach has worked for the last 50 years.
When the Church considers the long history of Marian devotion she rejoices at the continuity of the element of cult which it shows, but she does not bind herself to any particular expression of an individual cultural epoch or to the particular anthropological ideas underlying such expressions.
More specifically we can now say that the Church does not bind herself to the particular Marian expressions of the 1960's cultural epoch nor to the particular anthropological ideas underlying such expressions.
