>> SO WHO OR WHAT DOES THE Mediatrix do ?? ? <<

Presuming you mean the Blessed Virgin Mary, she does nothing more than all Christians do: pray for others. Just that Mary is “most highly favored one,” and “blessed among women,” whom “all generations shall call blessed” because “blessed is the fruit of [her] womb.”

As is stated in every writing referred to in this thread wherein Mary’s mediation is mentioned (although usually excised from the citation), Mary does nothing apart from Christ. All that she accomplishes is from His power, His will and His design.

RIGHHHHTT.
ROTFOLO.
What brazen claptrap.
What a milk sop!
Proddys are not that clueless!
Proddys are not that ignorant!
Proddys are not that undiscerning!
We recognize idolatry when we see it, smell it.
.
We see it on FR 24/7/365 in flaming obnoxious brazenness.
We see the umpteen 100 threads in behalf of Mary
compared to the miniscule portion dedicated to Jesus.
.
.
.
TRY AGAIN.
.
.
That brazen flasehood won't fly.
That dog won't hunt.
That wafer won't transubstantiate.
That unholy water won't wash.
That statue won't cry.
That kissed toe won't wiggle.
Those Prada shoes won't dance.
Those robes will only hide the fondling, not the truth.
.
.
.
We've read Ferraro. We see how much Mary is credited with doing on her own power and position with little to no mention of Jesus.
.
.
What a stinking pile of false advertising!
.

Below are a list of brazen examples
from a very popular devotional
VERY SANCTIONED, APPROVED AND ENCOURAGED
by the Vatican system & hierarchy.
.
.
.
Some have said that the language below
is 'merely' hyperbolic adoration.
I don't think that's what
GOD ALMIGHTY WOULD LABEL IT.
I'm convinced that
GOD ALMIGHTY
CALLS IT
BRAZEN DEMONICALLY
FACILITATED, ENCOURAGED & LED
IDOLATRY AND BLASPHEMY.
He doesn't usually mince words.

WERE MARY HERSELF POSTING ON FR
I BELIEVE HER DENOUNCIATIONS OF SUCH
WOULD BE MUCH MORE FIERCE THAN MINE!
.
.
.
I was involved in a house church
famous all over Southern California
for its deliverance ministry and follow-up.
Mental hospitals and pastors sent their worst cases
to us--the ones they gave up on.
By God's grace, Christ's Blood and Holy Spirit
operating in servant-hearted love through
a lot of dedicated people who opened their homes
to such folks,
many were set free--lastingly free.
.
.
.
I learned a lot in that church.
One of the things that I OBSERVED,
I see a LOT hereon.
there's a characteristic
TYPE OF RESPONSE
WHEN A PERSON AWASH
IN DEMONIC INFLUENCES
(I don't think it matters
whether they are resident
or hovering around)
GETS CHALLENGED, EXHORTED,
HAS THEIR PRIDE PRICKED.
I see a LOT of that TYPE of response, hereon.
.
.
.

Below are the examples
of exalting other deities.
They are real.
They are serious.
They are owned,
operated in,
manifested in,
heart-felt wallowed in
by millions of Roman Catholics around the world.
Pretending otherwise does not change the facts.
White washing it with magicsterical diplospeak
doesn't change the facts.
Rationalizing it with 101 weasel words
doesn't change the facts.
.
.
.
the FACTS are easy enough to see below
for anyone with
more discernment than a gnat's.
.
.
.
Those reading this with any consciousness above comotose
no longer have any excuse.
.
.
.
Holy Spirit will be nudging, urging, forsaking of all such
--ALL HINT OF SUCH--
IGNORING HIS LEADING, NUDGING, URGING
in such matters can be spiritually deadly.
Very spiritually deadly.
.
.
.
ONCE AGAIN,
just a small part of
THE EVIDENCE: .

WITH RICHARD CARDINAL CUSHING’S IMPRIMATUR

Let me track down the brief portion of quotes upthread . . .

Here they are:

However, as we've seen through a variety of sources--a pile of them in Ferraro's manual about the Rosary--the Roman Catholic et al/Vatican Edifice disagrees with a lot of the claims of RC's hereon to the contrary.

p.32
.
[Quixicated emphases below]
Mary is crowned Queen of heaven and earth, dispenser of all graces . . .

p32
4 - She became Queen of Purgatory, where she exercises her power as mediatrix in behalf of these suffering souls.

5 - She became Queen of us sinners, to assist us through the dangers of this life and to help us in difficulties.

6 - She became the ruler of hell, that trembles at her slightest gaze and is defeated by her power.

"Just as a rock extracted from earth will precipitate into the abyss, so will man, left without Mary's help, quickly slide toward hell." --Richard of St Victor

p37
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy kingdom come; Thy kingdom come through Mary! --Partial Indulgence

p41
"Mary is the tree of life to those who grasp her, and he is happy who hold her fast." --Prov. 3:18

p43
1 - "Hail Mary, beloved daughter of the Father, Mother of the Divine Son, Spouse of the Holy Spirit, complement of the most august Trinity!"

p45
6 - To her was granted grace greater than that conferred upon all others, 'that she might vanquish sin in every respect.'
.
[Qx: I guess Christ's vanquishing sin was unnecessary--or ineffectual without Mary's assistance?]

p46
7 - "Mary is the dawn of God because, just as the dawn marks the end of darkness and the beginning of day, so Mary indicates the end of vices and the beginning of virtue."
.
[Qx: I guess Christ's conquering on The Cross and HIS conquering trip to hell were unncessary?]

9 - God loved Mary so much that He gave her the keys to His heart. 'No one can go to God without Mary drawing him.'
.
[Qx: I guess Holy Spirit has been relegated to a 'Walter Mitty' role as spouse of Mary? That's SOME POWER to cancel & take over HOLY SPIRIT'S role to draw men to God!]

p47
4 - "Mary, trusting in the word of the angel, destroyed the sin Eve committed by trusting in the serpent.'
.
[Qx: Evidently, she beat Christ to the job of vanquishing sin!]

5 - "She desired the safety of everyone, went in search of it, and obtained it; it was also through her that this salvation was wrought."
.
[QX: What an unnecessary waste of precious Blood and suffering on THE CROSS!!!/sar]

p47
10 - "As Noah's Ark saved all the animals that entered it, so Mary saves all the souls that entrust themselves to her care."

p50
8 - "If she were not so holy as she is, how could God appoint her to be the ladder of Paradise, the advocate of the world, meatrix between HIm and us?"

p50
4 - "By becoming Mother of God, Mary belongs to the order of hypostatic union; hence she participates IN the infinite sanctity of God."

Just that Mary is “most highly favored one,” and “blessed among women,” whom “all generations shall call blessed” because “blessed is the fruit of [her] womb.”

That's according to the RCC. However, according to Jesus..

Luke 11:27 "As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you."

Jesus replied, "But even more blessed are all who hear the Word of God and obey it".

As you hear/read the words of Jesus and if you want to be blessed in anyway, you are to obey. Assigning titles to Mary and uplifting her in anyway would be disobeying. Imagine the rebuke that lady would have gotten if she, also, said she prayed to Mary?

I wonder how Catholics think they will get eternal life when they willfully disobey Him/His Word. Since they have nullified God's Word by their traditions, they already decided their own destiny, since they will be judged by The Word. Isn't that the kicker!

"Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down.." Mark 7:13

Mary does nothing apart from Christ. All that she accomplishes is from His power, His will and His design.

All that she accomplishes? Besides willfully stretching it, She HEARD and OBEYED, no different than anyone who follows Jesus. And, yet, Catholics don't follow her example - they hear and disobey. Pawns of the counterfeit church.

Do you know WHY Mary was favored and other women would think she had been blessed by God?
