Thank you so much for your videos. They are helping me recover my 3 years of High School Latin from 30 some years ago. Boy, I wish I'd paid more attention in Fr. Schmidts class :)
But the actual Bible does not say she will crush your head. The proper translation is he. I’ve read so much stuff about this, watched so many videos and it is he so what do you guys make of that?
Hello and thanks for your comment! While many modern Theologians prefer Ipse there to Ipsa, Catholic Dogma clearly requires us to read the Bible in light of the teachings of the Church Fathers, especially the Apostolic Fathers who learned from the authors of Scripture themselves and earlier, pre-masoretic texts. The Church Fathers strongly handed down to us "She (Ipsa) will crush your head," and all Catholic Dogma & doctrine until recently has continued that Tradition, including the relatively recent Ineffabilis Deus. Either way, if you prefer Ipse, Gen 3:15 still makes it clear that Jesus & Mary are inherently linked co-operators in our Redemption. I'm only fairly close to finishing my Doctorate in Mariology and haven't completed it, but I'm with St. Maximilian, the Doctors, & Fathers of the Church on this one. Here is what was Dogmatically defined about it in Ineffabilis Deus of Bl. Pius IX: "Quapropter enarrantes verba, quibus Deus præparata renovandis mortalibus suæ pietatis remedia inter ipsa mundi primordia prænuntians, et deceptoris serpentis retudit audaciam, et nostri generis spem mirifice erexit, inquiens: “Inimicitias ponam inter te et mulierem, et semen tuum et semen illius” docuere, divine hoc oraculo clare aperteque præmonstrandum fuisse misericordem humani generis Redemptorem, scilicet Unigenitum Dei Filium Christum Iesum, ac designatam beatissimam eius Matrem Virginem Mariam, ac simul ipsissimas utriusque contra diabolum inimicitias insigniter expressas. Quocirca sicut Christus Dei hominumque mediator, humana assumpta natura, delens quod adversus nos erat chirographum decreti, illud cruci triumphator affixit; sic Sanctissima Virgo, arctissimo et indissolubili vinculo cum Eo coniuncta, una cum Illo et per Illum, sempiternas contra venenosum serpentem inimicitias exercens, ac de ipso plenissime triumphans, illius caput immaculato pede contrivit." [The Fathers and writers of the Church ... in quoting the words by which at the beginning of the world God announced His merciful remedies prepared for the regeneration of mankind - words by which He crushed the audacity of the deceitful Serpent and wondrously raised up the hope of our race, saying, “I will put enmities between thee and the woman, between thy seed and her seed” - taught that by this divine prophecy the merciful Redeemer of mankind, Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, was clearly foretold; that His most blessed Mother, the Virgin Mary, was prophetically indicated; and at the same time the very enmity of both against the Evil One was significantly expressed. Hence, just as Christ, the Mediator between God and man, assumed human nature, blotted the handwriting of the decree that stood against us, and fastened it triumphantly to the cross, so the most holy Virgin, united with Him by a most intimate and indissoluble bond, was, with Him and through Him, eternally at enmity with the evil serpent, and most completely triumphed over him, and thus crushed his head with her immaculate foot.] God bless! @REDEEMER10000

Funny, I also wasted my first 3 years of Latin study in high school. Wish I had studied, too!
I love it 🙏❤️🔥🕊
