Vatican’s Rejection of Marian Titles Exposes Conciliar Apostasy
VaticanNews portal reports that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith under Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández issued a doctrinal note approved by “Pope” Leo XIV discouraging use of Marian titles “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix.” The document claims these terms risk exaggerating the Blessed Virgin’s role in redemption and mediation, citing Vatican II’s Lumen Gentium while ignoring centuries of magisterial teaching. Critics like Mark Miravalle and Laurie Olsen protest the decision by appealing to conciliar texts rather than immutable Tradition, revealing the bankruptcy of post-1958 theological discourse.
Conciliar Sect Assaults Marian Dogma
The doctrinal note’s prohibition against calling Mary Co-Redemptrix constitutes direct rebellion against the Church’s perennial teaching. Pope Pius X condemned such innovations in Pascendi Dominici Gregis, warning that Modernists seek to “eliminate from the Church the efficacy of those elements which come to her from her divine constitution.” The document’s claim that Marian titles require “many, repeated explanations” echoes Protestant objections to Theotokos at Ephesus – a heresy anathematized by Ecumenical Council.
We cannot talk of any other mediation in grace apart from that of the incarnate Son of God.
This sophistry deliberately contradicts Pope Pius IX’s bull Ineffabilis Deus, which proclaims Mary “preserved from all stain of original guilt” to make her “a worthy mediatrix (digna Mediatrix) for mankind who had incurred misery.” The conciliar sect’s reduction of Our Lady to mere “intercessor” follows the Jansenist heresy condemned by Clement XI in Unigenitus (1713), which denied Mary’s role as “Dispensatrix of all graces.”
Linguistic Subversion of Theotokos
The document’s doublespeak reveals its diabolical disorientation. While paying lip service to Mary’s “unique cooperation,” it systematically dismantles the theological precision achieved through centuries of dogmatic development. Saint Alphonsus Liguori’s The Glories of Mary – endorsed by the pre-conciliar Magisterium – explicitly states: “Mary was called by God to enter into the work of redemption” (De Laudibus BVM, I:2:4). The conciliar note’s injunction against Co-Redemptrix directly attacks:
1. Leo XIII’s encyclical Iucunda Semper (1894): “Mary… participated with Jesus Christ in the very painful act of redemption”
2. Benedict XV’s Inter Sodalicia (1918): “She redeemed the human race together with Christ”
3. Pius XI’s repeated references to Mary as “Co-Redemptrix” in audience addresses (1935)
The document’s admission that John Paul II used the title while Bergoglio (“Francis”) opposed it exposes the conciliar sect’s doctrinal chaos. True popes don’t contradict saints – the Modernist antipopes manufacture doctrinal confusion through intentional ambiguity.
Vatican II as Pseudo-Magisterial Foundation
Cardinal Fernández’s appeal to Lumen Gentium confirms the conciliar sect’s utter detachment from Catholic Tradition. The so-called “dogmatic constitution” lacks any binding authority, being the product of heretical bishops and periti like Karl Rahner. As Pope Pius XII declared in Humani Generis (1950): “If the Supreme Pontiffs in their acts deliberately pass judgment on a matter debated until then, it is obvious to all that the matter… cannot be considered a question of free debate among theologians.” The conciliar sect reverses this principle, using ambiguous texts to dismantle defined doctrines.
Laurie Olsen’s appeal to “87 opinions submitted by 678 council fathers” supporting “Mediatrix” demonstrates the conciliar sect’s Protestant parliamentary mentality. Truth isn’t determined by majority vote, but by fidelity to Tradition. The true Church defined Marian doctrines through papal definitions – not committee debates. Mary’s mediation rests on divine revelation, not the opinions of 1960s heretics.
Omission of Eschatological Reality
The doctrinal note’s naturalistic focus ignores the cosmic battle between the Woman and the Serpent (Gen 3:15). By silencing Mary’s titles as Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix, the conciliar sect:
1. Denies her Fiat at Calvary where she “stood by the Cross of Jesus” (John 19:25) as the New Eve
2. Rejects Pius XII’s teaching in Mystici Corporis (1943) that Mary “offered Him on Golgotha to the Eternal Father for all the children of Adam”
3. Contradicts the revelations to Saint Bridget of Sweden (approved by Boniface IX) showing Mary’s unique participation in Christ’s sacrifice
This suppression of Marian doctrine fulfills the Masonic plan exposed by Cardinal José María Caro Rodríguez in The Mystery of Freemasonry (1925): “One of the ultimate objectives of Freemasonry is to destroy completely the Marian cult.” The conciliar sect’s document implements this agenda while feigning concern for “Christ’s sole mediation.”
Conclusion: Apostasy Masquerading as Prudence
The prohibition against Marian titles reveals the conciliar sect’s complete apostasy from Catholic Faith. As Our Lady warned at La Salette (1846) – an apparition rejected by these Modernists: “Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist.” True Catholics recognize this document as part of the Great Apostasy foretold in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. We cling to the immutable teaching that Mary is Corredemptrix, Mediatrix, and Advocatrix – as proclaimed by saints, doctors, and popes before the conciliar captivity. Let the faithful echo Saint Maximilian Kolbe’s act of consecration: “Through the Immaculata, all grace comes to us from the Sacred Heart of Jesus.”
