Adam’s Glory Doctrine
The doctrine that Adam possesses a unique glory in Heaven surpassed only by Mary — because no other Blessed possesses even one DW-act, his DW-acts were more God’s than his own and remain indestructible even after the Fall; that the Blessed in Heaven see in Adam as in a mirror what man was at creation and what the DW can do in a creature; and that they intercede from this contemplation for the DW Kingdom to come, making Adam’s heavenly glory itself a structural component of the Kingdom’s impetration.
