Summary/Abstract: A difficult topic in the dialogue with Anglicans is the issue of Mary and the various forms of liturgical and non-liturgical Marian devotion, which belong at the same to the Anglican and the Catholic tradition. However, the influence of the Reformation has also had an impact on this topic. Hence, paradoxically, Mariology links and -at the same time- constitutes an element of polemics between Anglicans and Catholics. The Anglican doctrine about Mary of Nazareth mentions the term complexion oppositorum, and the ecumenical Dialogue has shown us its present situation, as we can read in these pages. The authors, after presenting a historical introduction, made a presentation of some existing ecumenical documents of the Roman-Catholic/Anglican dialogue in which there was any mention of the Theotokos. Here are presented the documents at international level as well as those that proceeding from national dialogues, in particular from the USA and Canada.
