I mean if we think Mary Queen if Heaven is only a term of endearment, we are disregarding the 5th Glorious Mystery.

Good. So you understand that she is, literally, Queen of Heaven. Crown and all.

Awesome! Don’t mean to badger. Not like I’m the Rosary Police or anything…😉
 
I’m more like, the Mary Queen of All Graces Police.
And a camper. Yay!
 
Well you know, the Church has never decreed Mary Queen of Heaven as an infallible doctrine. So Catholics can ignore Church tradition, liturgy, all of it…and just be Protestants. (sarcasm alert)

Again, I imagine Catholics who don’t accept Mary as Mediatrix of All Graces will simply walk out of Masses where the priest uses the liturgy for that feast.

I’m there!

Not even an hour ago at daily Mass we sung a hymn declaring Our Lady, “Spring of all graces”. I didn’t notice anyone getting up and leaving. 😀

“Spring of all graces”.
In ancient Aramaic, the word for “spring” also meant “Mediatrix.”
Cool. Happy dance! Dance around the campfire!

I think most Catholics do. The difference is that you think the phrase means that Mary is some sort of functionary in the present dispensation of grace. A lot of folks think the phrase means “she’s Jesus’s mom” and that’s about it.

It DOES mean she is a functionary in the present dispensation of grace.
 
“Soon I shall go to Heaven. You are to stay here to reveal that the Lord wants to establish throughout the world the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. When you start to reveal this, don’t hesitate. Tell everyone that Our Lord grants us all graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary; that all must make their petitions to Her; that the Sacred Heart of Jesus desires that the Immaculate Heart of Mary be venerated at the same time. Tell them that they should all ask for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as God has placed it in Her hands. Oh, if I could only put in the heart of everyone in the world the fire that is burning in me and makes me love so much the Heart of Jesus and the Heart of Mary.”
St. Jacinta of Fátima, to Lucia
 
I think it is useful to understand that all graces come through the Holy Virgin indirectly, simply because she is the crown of creation and the reason for God’s great love to the rest of creation. God has mercy on the weak on behalf of the holy as evident with Moses and the Patriarchs. While others could also be seen as the reason for God’s graces, only the Holy Virgin was chosen to unite God and Man in the God-man Jesus Christ. So all graces of God are with her in mind.

Directly, of course being a creation and not existing before the time of her holy birth, she does not dispense all graces. This is not the argument. The argument is that wherever the grace comes from directly, it is only because indirectly it is given because of the Holy Virgin’s holiness.

I may be off a little in terminology, so please forgive me, I am simply writing from what I understand.
 
I think there is a oneness that is recognized in Our Blessed Mother. Like Jesus’ oneness with the Trinity, Mary is oneness with Christ’s humanity. It’s her humanity that suffered on the cross. The Father gave His Son Mary gave her Son. Her obedience and suffering are singular in a human way.
 
It’s Christ’s humanity that suffered on the Cross. Mary shared in that suffering.
 
I think they are inclusive. Mary could say bone of my bone flesh of my flesh like Adam
 
Yes, and that mediator came through a woman (God’s choice and plan). You can ignore her but she is Jesus’ mother and he gave her to us from the cross. Jesus did NOT ignore the Father’s plan… so I want to be like Jesus. I want to love his mother like he did and like he took pains to give to us.

I don’t ignore her. I just don’t put her as high as some people have claimed, even going to the point that God obeys her.
