Abstract

The author of this article analyses the moral issues connected with Mary in encyclicals of Popes Benedict XVI and Francis. The nature of the issues raised in those documents points to the necessity of giving priority in the contemporary praxis of life and theology to theological virtues, also in their social dimension. In this context, Mary constitutes an example of morality brought to perfection due to her openness to the Word of God and the grace of the Holy Spirit.
