"How To Stop Non-Catholics From Laughing At Your Marian Devotion And Embarrassing You" Doctor of the Church, St. Robert Bellarmine was one of the Church's most prolific writers and best teachers. When Pope Clement VIII created St. Robert a cardinal, he said: "The Church of God has not his equal in learning." He wrote many works in defense of Catholic doctrine, and was a first class apologist. The Protestants set up chairs of theology specifically to fight against him, because even they recognized his genius. They said St. Robert presented their teachings even better than they did. He had thoroughly studied what they taught, and effectively refuted their errors at every point. Like all Saints, he had a tender devotion to Mary. And he wrote about her in many places of his works, even defending her Immaculate Conception centuries before it was defined. This little book, "The Marian Writings of St. Robert Bellarmine", presents, for the first time, all of his Marian works in one convenient volume. These writings were taken from the many volumes and thousands of pages of his collected works. Imagine sitting at the feet of this great Saint, and learning not only how to love Mary, but also what to believe about her. Well, you don't have to imagine it. This little book makes it all possible. In its clearly written pages, you'll learn... 1. how you can defend Mary with great confidence 2. the only defense of the Hail Holy Queen (The Protestants even attacked this great prayer.) 3. the brilliant arguments he used defend Mary's Immaculate Conception centuries before it was solemnly defined by the Church.
