On 4 November, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith issued a “Doctrinal Note on Some Marian Titles Regarding Mary’s Cooperation in the Work of Salvation”.
This text, whose apparent concern is not to “obscure Christ’s unique salvific mediation”, teaches that “it is always inappropriate to use the title ‘Co-redemptrix’ to define Mary’s cooperation”, and that “special prudence is required when applying the term ‘Mediatrix’ to Mary”.
Caricaturing—in order to distance itself from—the traditional terminology of the Church, and moreover prolix in beautiful considerations on the maternal role of the Virgin, this “Note” seeks to minimise the role entrusted by God to His Associate in the work of Redemption and the salvation of souls: on the one hand, it asserts that the Blessed Virgin Mary did not intervene in the acquisition of grace; on the other, Her universal and necessary role in the dispensation of graces is weakened almost to the point of denial. She is acknowledged only an undefined function of maternal intercession.
With its misleading admonitions, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith “obscures” Our Lady’s unique collaboration in the work of salvation. It dethrones the Virgin Mary and offends Divine Wisdom. Lastly, it scandalises all Christians, who are deeply wounded by this grave attack on the greatness of their Mother and dismayed to see Her mission within their souls so deliberately restricted.
Profoundly outraged and eager to make public reparation for such an offence, the priests of the Society of Saint Pius X invite all affiliated priests and the faithful to join them in prayer on Sunday, 16 November. At every public Mass celebrated that day, an intention of reparation will be added for the offence and scandal committed. After each Mass, the Litany of the Blessed Virgin and the Stabat Mater will be sung or recited.
May the Virgin Co-Redemptrix, through Her powerful intercession, dispel the present darkness and rekindle the faith of Her children.
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Leo is making Francis look more like Benedict and John Paul II. Sad times for Traditional Catholics.
Just like the anti-Catholic posts from you, oystir?
What's your particular problem with Our Blessed Mother?
I never said, implied, shaded or even mentioned our Blessed Mother. Thank you for the defamatory comment, ebby.
You posted an SSPX article, with quotes, directly refuting the Vatican. Quite often you don’t seem to understand what you post or, at a minimum, haven’t read what you post. Typical.
Calling fr, “emeritus” is a perversion. Fired! is not a perversion of language or truth regardig fs.
Your posting has nothing to do with the topic you posted, ebby. Again, do you read what you post. Typical.
Oh, by the way, how much support did FS receive from actual Bishops? Can you say, “ZERO,” ebby?
You’re such a hypocrite, oystir.
It was you who brought up Bishop Strickland on a post that has nothing to do with him.
But again, your continuous attacks against the good bishop and the SSPX, indicates you’re as anti-Catholic as your jesuit heroes: Bergoglio, James Martin, etc.
Again, why do you support the faggot Tucho’s degradation of Our Lord’s Blessed Mother? Why do you tow the lines of such a cretin?
It was a simple question, ebby. Will fs follow the Vatican or will fs follow diminished sspxer’s? fs likes to let his opinion known. You (and the cartoon network) like to broadcast it. What do you think, ebby? Vatican, sspx or, probably the wise move (but rarely followed) shut-up?
So the oystir believes in "the majority rules"?
How much support did St. Athanasius receive from "actual" bishops when he was excommunicated?
I think it's providence that you missed your Fatima pilgrimage. You're not worthy to honor Our Lady with your defense of her degradation by Tucho and Leo.
This thread was posted soley about making reparation to Our Lady, and instead you jumped in with both lavender guns blazing to attack Bishop Strickland and the SSPX, with no legitimate reasons expect for blind obedience to a perverted frankenchurch.
May Our Lady remove the veil of hatred from your clouded eyes and soul.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
Follow in what matters, oystir?
Follow the Vatican in homo blessings?
Follow the Vatican in homo confirmations?
Follow the Vatican in Pachamama worship?
Follow the Vatican in wide open borders?
Follow the Vatican in catholic "divorce"?
Or
Follow Catholics who defend Our Lady's honor?
Follow Catholics who believe the sanctity of the Sacrament of Marriage?
Follow Catholics who acknowledge sodomy is a sin that cries out the Heaven for vengence?
You most certainly did. You sided with the Vatican's degradation of Our Lady's titles by claiming the SSPX' call for reparations "was directly refuting the Vatican".
Thus you implied Bergoglio's pervert, Tucho, trumps Our Lady.
Wake up, oystir. And learn who needs refuting and who doesn't.
Will oystir follow Tucho, Jimmy Martin and their merry band of sodomites, or will oystir follow Jesus Christ and St. Peter Damian?
Our Lady, Co-Redeptrix and Mediatrix of all graces, pray for us.
Vouchsafe that I may praise thee, O sacred Virgin. Give me strength against thine enemies.
Why don' you read the article this time, oystir; before sticking your foot in you mouth again.
