Abstract
Mary’s role in ecumenical dialogue represents a double-edged sword, serving as either a unifying rallying point or an obstacle to harmony among Christians. Acknowledging that non-Catholic denominations lack a monolithic viewpoint on the Mother of Jesus, this paper shifts focus from institutional relationships to specific issues. It explores the evolution of Marian doctrine and devotion to assess their impact on the pursuit of Christian fellowship. By confining the analysis to these two distinct areas—doctrine and devotion—the study examines how evolving Marian traditions can either hinder or foster mutual understanding and ecumenical agreement across diverse Christian traditions.
