Paragraph 2. “CONCEIVED BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY”
As St. Irenaeus says,
“Being obedient she became the cause of salvation for herself and for the
whole human race.”141 Hence not a few of the early Fathers gladly
assert. . .: “The knot of Eve’s disobedience was untied by Mary’s
obedience: what the virgin Eve bound through her disbelief, Mary loosened by
her faith.”142 Comparing her with Eve, they call Mary “the
Mother of the living” and frequently claim: “Death through Eve, life
through Mary.”143
