By giving her these titles, among others, Roman Catholicism is indeed saying that.
When the Fifth Marian dogma is approved, and I predict it will one day, then it will become official.
By giving her these titles, among others, Roman Catholicism is indeed saying that.
No matter how many times you make this assertion, you will never find it stated in the doctrine of the Catholic Church that Mary has the same status as Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that Jesus Christ is the “one mediator between God and the human race.” Through his sacrificial offering he has become high priest and unique mediator who has gained for us access to God’s saving grace for humanity. It further states that Mary is sometimes called Mediatrix in virtue of her cooperation in the saving mission of Christ, who alone is the unique mediator between God and humanity.
Lucem gentium states:
- The titles of Advocate, Auxiliatrix, Adjutrix, and Mediatrix do not take away from dignity of Christ as the one Mediator.
- No creature could ever be counted as equal with the Incarnate Word and Redeemer.
- The Church does not hesitate to profess this subordinate role of Mary.
I am not totally comfortable with the Fifth Marian Dogma and I hope that it is not approved. But even it acknowledges the subordinate role that Mary plays in cooperation with Jesus, who is the one Mediator. It does not put Mary on an equal status with Jesus.
