I modified your quote - I think I made it clearer. If I missed something, please let me know.
I agree completely with your message - especially the pattern of development (implied by your use of the word "manufacture") which has emerged regarding the aggrandizement of Mary's position in "Holy Roman Catholic Church." < /sarc>
Here is the order and progression of "Marian Dogma."
The Fifth and final Marian dogma would declare Mary to be “advocate, mediatrix, and co-redemptrix.”
- First, Mary is the Mother of God (Council of Ephesus, 431).
- Second, she is a Perpetual Virgin (Lateran Council, 649).
- Third, Mary was conceived without original sin, or her “Immaculate Conception” (Bl. Pius IX, 1854).
- Fourth, Mary was assumed body and soul into heaven, or her “Assumption” (Pius XII, 1950).
The article goes on to say,
Our Lady’s role as advocate simply confirms that this mother intercedes for our wants and needs with a maternal perseverance and power beyond that of any of the other saints. Mary brings the needs of mankind to the throne of Christ. She is the principal intercessor on behalf of her earthly children, and as queen, she has the greatest possible intercessory power to Jesus, the king of the kingdom of God, for humanity’s needs. In the Old Testament, the queen mother of the king had the greatest power of intercession to her son, the king in the line of David, on behalf of the Jewish people. In the New Testament, Mary is the new queen mother who gives birth to the “king of kings,” and is crowned as the queen and advocate in the kingdom of God to become the greatest intercessor for the people of God to Christ the King. For this role of interceding for humanity, Mary is called the “advocate,” her most ancient title, dating back to the 2nd Century.
Mary is the mediatrix for humanity who spiritually nourishes her earthly children by dispensing the graces of salvation. At the Wedding of Cana, Mary interceded to bring the graces of Jesus to all of humanity. She “mediated” or interceded to bring Jesus himself, the source of all graces, into the world. Mary too was appointed by Jesus himself at the climax of his redeeming sacrifice on the cross to become the spiritual mother of all peoples and to dispense to humanity heavenly graces when he said to Mary, “Behold, your son.” Jesus then told John, and all those who seek to become beloved disciples of Jesus, to “behold your Mother.” For these roles in dispensing the saving graces of Jesus to her earthly children, Mary is called the “mediatrix of all graces.” As Bl. John Paul II explained, “mediatrix is implicit in the term, mother.” The papal Magisterium of the last two centuries has consistently taught this Marian role as mediatrix of all graces, and Pope Benedict XVI Emeritus published this same title on 11 February 2013, the day he announced his resignation.
The Catholic Church is one of Satan's tools. He is a liar and a deceiver. His desire is to keep people from the Truth.
We have been working to shed Light on these lies and show people the Way to the Truth.
From the beginning, Satan has perverted God's Word. It is the very same strategy that he is using today. Right on this thread, in fact.
Satan's followers are taking God's Word and distorting it to say things that is does not (e.g. Mary is sinless, she is an intercessor, her perpetual virginity, her assumption, and lots more).
We serve a God who performs miracles. Our lives in Christ are miracles, in deed! It is not too late for these to embrace the whole Truth. That should be our earnest prayer.
