If Pope Benedict doesn’t want it, it won’t be done.

Facts are facts.


Go back to 1854. When a Pope lays the groundwork the wheels begin grinding s-l-o-w-l-y. Facts are facts.

All our hope do we repose in the most Blessed Virgin -- in the all fair and immaculate one who has crushed the poisonous head of the most cruel serpent and brought salvation to the world: in her who is the glory of the prophets and apostles, the honor of the martyrs, the crown and joy of all the saints; in her who is the safest refuge and the most trustworthy helper of all who are in danger; in her who, with her only-begotten Son, is the most powerful Mediatrix and Conciliatrix in the whole world; in her who is the most excellent glory, ornament, and impregnable stronghold of the holy Church; in her who has destroyed all heresies and snatched the faithful people and nations from all kinds of direst calamities; in her do we hope who has delivered us from so many threatening dangers.

Ineffabilis Deus Apostolic Constitution of Pope Pius IX on the Immaculate Conception (December 8, 1854)

Please note the magic words "Mediatrix and Conciliatrix".

Further note: The quote and link in this post are directly from the Catholic Encyclopedia site. (I couldn't find it on Vatican.va).

It is possible to select phrases from this quote, Google them, and find the same words on hate sites, porno sites, and more. Any pig can do that and lie about the origin. Please take note.

But I have to say that I respect you highly for giving a link. A clickable link takes away any doubt from where it came!
