Karl Rahner and Joseph Ratzinger about blessed Virgin Mary

Ovaj rad želi prikazati najvažnije misli Josepha Ratzingera i Karla Rahnera o Blaženoj Djevici Mariji kroz četiri marijanske dogme: dogma o Marijinom božanskom majčinstvu, dogma o Marijinom trajnom djevičanstvu, dogma o bezgrješnom začeću i dogma o Marijinom uznesenju. Oba teologa žele ukazati na njezinu nužnost kako bi se pravilno razumio Krist, Crkva i sam čovjek. Kod Josepha Ratzingera uočavamo njezinu svetost kroz prizmu Staroga zavjeta i usporedbu sa svetim ostatkom Izraela gdje ona biva sveti ostatak i slika savršenog kršćanina. Ratzinger također prikazuje Marijinu suradnju i predanje koje svaki kršćanin treba imati prema Bogu. Karl Rahner pak tumači Mariju u svjetlu Novoga zavjeta te pokazuje i približava dogme današnjem čovjekuIn this work it is desired to represent the most important thoughts of theologians Joseph Ratzinger/ Benedict XVI. and Karl Rahner about Virgin Mary trough four Marian dogmas: Mary's divine motherhood, dogma of Mary's permanent virginity, dogma of sinless conception, and dogma of Mary's resurrection. Both theologians want to point out on her necessity to properly understand Christ, the Church, and the very human being. In the work of Joseph Ratzinger we see her holiness through the prism of the Old Testament and a comparison with the sacred remnant of Israel where she is the sacred remnant and image of the perfect Christian. Ratzinger also shows Mary's cooperation and commitment that every Christian should have toward God. Karl Rahner interprets Mary in the light of the New Testament, and he shows and approaches the dogma of today's man
