As for the feast you mentioned, HC, it must be some sort of VII innovation, either that or the Irish Sisters of Mercy didn't celebrate it

Actually, it was established before Vatican II.

"Actually, it was established before Vatican II."

Thanks for the G2. I guess the word hadn't gotten from Italy to my part of the US by the 1950s! I did run a Google Search on "Mary Mediatrix of All Graces" and found some pretty odd stuff. The odd stuff aside, I was amused (actually I was astinished) by the silly attempts made by some writers to justify this concept by quoting from the Orthodox Akathist Hymn. I think we may have found another rather profound difference between Orthodoxy and the Latin Church.
