Catholics believe that the
understanding of the Church
about Mary, as about all
Christian truth (e.g., the understanding
of the Trinity) deepens and
becomes more accurate over
the centuries under the guidance
of the Holy Spirit.
John 15:26
"When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from
the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from
the Father, he will testify to me."
John 16:12-13
"I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear
it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will
guide you to all truth."
