Recently, Catholic Answers received a kind and enlightening correspondence from Cristophe Costi, a Lutheran pastor from Germany and the recent author of Mary, Who Are You?: An Astonishing Look Beyond the Protestant Horizon. 

When we learned that Cristophe’s book was inspired in part by our own Tim Staples’s Behold Your Mother, we couldn’t help asking if he might be interested in answering a couple of questions from us, ranging in topics from Protestants’ and Catholics’ dialogue on Marian doctrines to the state of Christianity in modern Europe. Below you will find Cristophe’s gracious responses.
