Excerpt from Cardinal Mercier's Conferences: Delivered to His Seminarists at Mechlin in 1907 This book is the equivalent in English of a series of conferences addressed by Cardinal Mercier to his Seminarists in the year 1907. The name of the learned and saintly Archbishop of Mechlin is a sufh cient passport to the sympathies of clerical readers throughout the world. His Eminence is known all over Europe, but especially in the great intellectual centres on the Continent, as the founder of the Modern Thomistic system of philosophy, called neo scholasticism, and probably as the ablest protago nist of Catholic teaching, as opposed to the Neo Kantism and Positivism to which all the erroneous systems of French and German thinkers have now been reduced. But probably he is better known amidst that wide circle of students who came within the happy range of his influence when he was President of the College Léon XIII. In the Univer sity of Louvain, and who have carried with them to far-distant missions grateful reminiscences of the solicitude for their spiritual and intellectual forma tion, which, even more than his great philosophical reputation, or the six volumes which his untiring energy has poured from the press, seemed to mark his career as President of that College as a new era in the history of his University.

The Mariology of the 20th century got a decisive stimulus by the movement for the dogmatic definition of Mary’s social function as “Mediatrix of all Graces.” Gloria Falcão Dodd gives a synthetic, historical overview of the development from 1896 until the proclamation of the Marian chapter of “Lumen gentium” in 1964. She also analyzes the theological arguments for and against the dogmatic definition. Her very useful work is indispensable for anyone who wants to receive the most recent basic information about the most disputed topic of modern Mariology. - Rev. Dr. Manfred Hauke
