| Why Do Titles of Mary End with the "-trix" Suffix (as in Mediatrix, Genetrix, Coredemptrix)? Posted: 09 Mar 2010 07:04 AM PST Why do titles of Mary end with the "-trix" suffix (as in Mediatrix, Genetrix, Coredemptrix)? The answer to this question is quite simple. In Latin, the masculine ending for an agent is "-tor" and the feminine ending for an agent is "-trix." For example, Christ is the Salva TOR ("Savior") and Redemp TOR ("Redeemer") of humanity. |

But I no longer could find the text in my Maritain files. While looking, however, I came across a booklet by Raïssa Maritain - Jacques' wife - entitled The Prince of This World. |
| Breaching the Resistance of the World Posted: 08 Mar 2010 12:34 PM PST I've written many times, albeit rather clumsily, on the notion that abortion prevents the absolute love of God, ever ancient, ever new, from entering into the world, and thus serves darkness, not light.
