[annalex]

Since the word means simply "one who pleads" it can apply to really anyone. In popular piety, it is at times applied to the Blessed Virgin Mary advocating for us to Christ:

... Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb Jesus; O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

(Hail Holy Queen)

In many languages "advocate" means "attorney at law" -- a defense lawyer.
