A document from the Vatican is recommending churches do not use the phrase “Mediatrix of ALL Graces,” claiming Revelation does not validate the term and it puts on “limits that do not favor a correct understanding of Mary’s unique place. Catholics argue the OPPOSITE is true, it is the Vatican LIMITING Mary’s powers.
Catholics fighting back site an encyclical on the Immaculate Conception by Pope Pius IX in 1849 that claimed, “God has committed to Mary the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation. For this is His will, that we obtain everything through Mary.”
Protestants would dispute both the papal and the traditional Catholic claims on the nature of Mary, citing, Luke 11:27-28, “As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, ‘Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!’ But he said, ‘Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!’”
Yesterday LifeSiteNews reported that a new document from the Vatican has discouraged the use of “Mediatrix of All Graces” as a title for the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The document suggests that the title lacks solid grounding in Revelation and carries “limits that do not favor a correct understanding of Mary’s unique place.”
On the contrary, the doctrine that all graces come to us through the mediation of the Blessed Virgin has been taught many times by the Successors of St Peter.
