The REAL Marian Maximalism

[OwlsinEden]

Sometimes i like knowing the smallest things in her life just to know how i can relate to her in everyday life

[TCM]

Marian Maximalism is realizing that she is Theotokos Co Redemptrix Spouse of the Holy Spirit Queen of Heaven

St Maximilian Kolbe is the true Marian maximalist. Max is his name

This is what I dislike about the Josephology that's arisen in the passed five centuries. It is purely speculative, based very little on typology of the Scriptures or the Traditions of the Fathers. "Oh, wouldn't it be cool if Joseph was the same age as Mary!" "Oh, wouldn't it be cool if he was assumed into heaven." "Oh wouldn't it be cool if he was the Greatest Saint after Mary." "Oh wouldn't it be cool if he was born without Original Sin like Saint John the Baptist." All of this comes from strictly speculation, founded in nothing else. Like I don't agree with Saint Jerome that he was a perpetual Virgin, but even that view is based on a broader typologically and Theological understand that Saint Jerome had, rather than "muh Joseph ideal man."

I watched a talk done which called the Bosom of Abraham, 'The Bosom of Saint Joseph' after he died because the Priest in question thought the title was based on the righteousness of the Saint, and believe that Saint Jospeh was more righteous than Abraham. While it's certainly not heretical to hold these views, as even the Vatican has allowed some of them, but there's a difference between liberty of belief and Doctrine and Dogma. It's like saying that Mary had labour pains. It's allowed, but is just unfounded in any sort of manner which we would understand Mary within the Scriptures, in relation to typology, the Fathers or just what the Scriptures describe. It also has serious implications against ones Doctrines and potentially even Dogmas.

Like what about the Theology and devotion to Saint John the Baptist? What about a devotion to King David through his Psalter and how the Psalms and it's understanding in relation to David plays a huge role in typology and in our Christology? I think we focus a little too much on the Holy Nuclear Family, and not so much on the fuller Holy Family.
