I never called her mediator.

You don't have to. Your Roman Catholic catechism does for you.

Do you believe your catechism?

969 - "This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation .... Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix."

Do you believe your popes?

POPE BENEDICT CALLS MARY "MEDIATRIX OF GRACE”

"During his Angelus message last Sunday (March 21, 2010), Pope Benedict referred to Mary as the "Mediatrix of grace for every penitent sinner..."

The words of the Holy Father certainly come as an encouragement to those participating in this Thursday's Roman dialogue on the issue of the Fifth Marian Dogma.

The Day of Dialogue, consisting of bishops and theologians discussing the present appropriateness of the solemn definition of Our Lady's role as Spiritual Mother of all humanity, Co-redemptrix, Mediatrix of all graces and Advocate...

And yes, we know Rome finagles its teaching by trying to say Mary gets her mediatrix role from Christ, but guess what? There is nowhere in Scripture that says Christ gives up His role as our sole, unique and complete mediator between God and men.

Once again, in terrible and explicit effrontery, Rome stands against the word of God...

" For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" -- 1 Timothy 2:5

As blue-duncan reminded us awhile back, in order to understand Christ's work on our behalf, we must know the correct definition and responsibility of a "mediator."

Mary does not "mediate" between God and men. Salvation is by God's grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone for God's glory alone. And we know this by the infallible word of God which Rome contradicts, ignores and denies, time after time after time.
