Sažetak
The article discusses the basic theological determinants of the Mariology of Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, which can be read out from his texts dedicated to particular Mariological themes. First, theological perspective is pointed out. In the centre of Mary’s person is her relationship with God, through which he reveals himself as a living, personal God who enters into communication with man and who is active and present in history. Anthropological determinant results from the theological: Mary is the paradigm of man as a creature, who in his free openness and cooperation with grace consents to God’s call, and in his faith completely surrenders to him. The internal logic of these two determinants leads to ecclesiological dimension. In her openness and disposability for God’s work, Mary is personal concreteness of the Church, reflecting its essence and mission. Ratzinger’s approach to Mary completely fits into his overall theological thought, in which the personal-relational image of God, man and Church dominates.
