The Life and Mariology of Father Juniper B. Carol, O.F.M.

More about the book

Fr. Juniper B. Carol's unconventional life as a Franciscan friar is explored through his independent publishing efforts and leadership in the Mariological Society of America. The book delves into his significant contributions to Marian teachings, specifically the absolute primacy and predestination of Jesus and His Virgin Mother, the concept of "debitum peccati," and Mary's role as Coredemptrix. Padgett highlights how Carol's unique approach allowed him to impact Mariology while living outside traditional expectations of his religious community.
