They NEVER conflict, ever.

Really? Then why does SCRIPTURE teach that there is one mediator between God and man, the man Jesus Christ (paraphrase of 1 Tim. 2:5) and the Roman Catholic Catechism teaches that Mary is a "co-mediatrix"??

Sounds like they run afoul to me....

Sorry, Hoss, the term "co-mediatrix" does not appear in the Catechism.

Actually the quote is this.....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."512

1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.

Interesting, Scripture says there's only ONE mediator, not two.

It looks like they don't even consider her *co-* but rather mediatrix. No need for Jesus then, is there?
