Pope Leo the 14th has doubled down on the recent Marian document, which says that the title for the Blessed Virgin Mary co-redemptrix is never appropriate.

0:13.3

Also discourages the term mediocrats for the Blessed Virgin Mary.

0:18.5

Now, I covered this earlier, and I thought, well, maybe this is just a one-off,

0:22.0

and it kind of seemed like they backtracked a little bit on it.

0:25.3

But this morning, this very day, Pope Leo the 14th, gave a reflection on the document.

0:32.1

The Latin name of the document is Mater Populi Fidelis, mother of the faithful people.

0:40.5

And he says this. He praised the document saying that it encourages Marian devotion. That's good. Deepening its biblical and theological

0:46.8

foundations. That's good. And at the same time offers precise and important clarifications

0:54.0

for Mariology. End quote, that's the problem.

0:58.1

uses the term mediocratics. And so what we have here is a so-called clarification that is

1:37.1

casting into doubt all the saints, all the Marian theologians, the Pope's Saint Pope. Pope John Paul II, who used both terms, and if it's

1:49.0

always inappropriate, why is Pope St. John Paul the second using the term? Was he inappropriate?

1:56.3

Was he off base? This is a nagging problem in the Catholic hierarchy right now, and that is ambiguity layered

2:07.6

on top of ambiguity and ambiguity in the people, the little people, like you and me, down

2:14.4

here at the parish level, we're like, what is going on?

2:20.6

Things are getting more confusing about homosexuality, cohabitation, contraception.

2:29.4

We've got a new bishop appointed in the Philippines, appointed by Pope Leo the 14th,

2:33.8

who's saying we need to get away from natural law.
