On the Holy See's declaration and the Marian titles of Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix

Just as God gave to Adam, in the person of Eve, a helper similar to himself, so too God gave to the new Adam (Jesus Christ), Mary, the new Eve, as a helper similar to Him. The Most Holy Virgin Mary is therefore the helper similar to Our Lord: adjutorium simile sibi (Gen. 2:18), who shares in the work of Redemption as taught by the Magisterium of the Church.

The Church has gathered the arguments of the Fathers and Doctors, and has already spoken on this prerogative on more than one occasion. However, the privilege of Co-redemption, as well as that of the mediation of all graces, has not yet been proclaimed a dogma. Without a doubt, the Second Vatican Council was the great obstacle to such a declaration.

The conciliar Church does not cease to place obstacles before true doctrine, for it is a new Church, a new religion that has taken the place of the true one. As long as this situation endures, there will hardly be authentic dogmatic definitions, for the liberals and modernists have corrupted the eternal notion of truth, as Saint Pius X teaches.

Let us ask Our Lady, Co-Redemptrix of the human race, to come to the aid of the Holy Church.
