The Roman Catholic Catechism TEACHES that Mary is a “Mediatrix”
And we teach that we, all of us, are mediators.
the Scriptures state unequivocally that there is but one intercessor between God and man br>Just a few verses after they state that we have an intercessory role.
The Catholic Church has no faulty teaching, though it has some pretty badly expressed teaching.
Which one(s)? Where does it state a few verses later that we intercede on behalf of other people in order to provide forgiveness?
I do see verse 8: "I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;"
I don't see anything there regarding intercession. When we pray FOR others, we are praying to The Heavenly Father for the person in question. No other "saint" need be prayed to for the simple reason that we have access to God Almighty through His Son.
When I say "intercede" that's what I'm talking about -- the intercession that is provided ONLY by God's Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
No man, no priest, no thing EVER intercedes for us in that way. And sadly, that same type of intercession is taught by the RCC catechism -- there is no co-redeemer / redemptrix, and no co-mediator / mediatrix. Only Christ.
Maybe we're arguing around the same tree but going different directions; maybe we're using different definitions for intercessor... but hopefully what I've stated above clarifies what I'm saying.
As to faulty vs. badly expressed teaching by the RCC? To me, both apply.
