Mary, Coronation of

 BASIC R.C.BELIEF

From AN EXPLANATION OF THE BALTIMORE CATECHISM, page 273, "In this last mystery (the Coronation of the Blessed Virgin in heaven), we consider our blessed Lady just after her entrance into heaven, being received by her divine Son, our blessed Lord, and being crowned queen of heaven (Ed-see Jeremiah 44:17) over all the angels and saints."

POST VATICAN II

From WOMAN CROWNED WITH STARS by Michael Malone (Imprimatur: Bishop Sullivan, Baton Rouge, 1981). "Our Blessed Mother's Rosary concludes with the Mystery of the Coronation of the Immaculate Virgin Mary as Queen of all creation; however, the crowning of Our Lady is not the culmination, but the actual commencement, of all that has even happened from the very beginning of time."
