Transcript
Speaker:

There is a logical reason

2

:

that we as Catholics, it's logical

that Mary be graciously shielded

3

:

from original sin

and actual sin by the grace of God.

4

:

Of course, previously,

in order to fulfill her role

5

:

as the new Ark of the covenant,

6

:

which,

like the prototype of the Old Testament

7

:

Ark, was holy and set apart.

8

:

marry and title

9

:

co redeem Turks and mediate tricks.

10

:

A new doctrinal note.

11

:

Does this restore your faith

in the Holy See?

12

:

With Cardinal Fernandez

as a chief catechist

13

:

of the Catholic faith?

14

:

I need to pray.

15

:

Name of the father, son,

and the Holy Spirit.

16

:

Amen.

17

:

Virgin most powerful, pray for us,

18

:

our Lady Cora, redemptive.

19

:

Pray for us,

20

:

Mother Mary.

21

:

Exterminator of heresies.

22

:

Pray for us and mediate tricks

of all graces.

23

:

Pray for us. Name of the father, son,

and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

24

:

Wow. Live site news is this

25

:

reported that the Vatican

declared the Marian title

26

:

corridor Trix is both inappropriate

27

:

and theologically unhelpful.

28

:

The statements came in a doctor

in a doctrinal note.

29

:

It's entitled matter populi fidelis,

30

:

which means mother

of the faithful people of God.

31

:

It was issued by the DeCastro

for the doctrine of the faith.

32

:

The deaf,

33

:

on November 4th and signed

34

:

by its prefect, Cardinal Victor

Emmanuel Fernandez.

35

:

More on him later.

36

:

The document was approved by Pope

Leo the 14th on October 7th.

37

:

So Cardinal Fernandez Fernandez,

who's the head of the deaf,

38

:

the prefect of the de Castro

for the doctrine of the Faith.

39

:

He wrote, quote,

when an expression such as call redemptive

40

:

requires many repeated explanations

41

:

to prevent it

from straying from a correct meaning,

42

:

it is not serve the

43

:

faith of the people of God

and becomes unhelpful.

44

:

Close quote I don't know Carl Fernandez.

45

:

Maybe a little bit of Catholic apologetics

would have helped you.

46

:

It's a simple it is a simple thing

to answer, and I'll show you.

47

:

The article also says

48

:

that the title code risks risks

49

:

eclipsing

the exclusive role of Jesus Christ,

50

:

and would not be a true

honor to his mother.

51

:

Close quote.

52

:

So, Cardinal Fernandez.

53

:

He also discouraged the widespread,

54

:

title Mediator of All Graces,

55

:

suggesting that it lacks

that, it lacks solid

56

:

grounding in revelation and carries,

as he says, limits

57

:

that do not favor a correct understanding

of Mary's unique place.

58

:

Close quote.

59

:

So instead, the Vatican

60

:

encouraged faithful to adopt the titles

rooted in Mary's motherhood.

61

:

That's a good thing.

62

:

We always should, go back to the four

Marian dogmas, the Mother of God, and

63

:

also they that we should adopt the title

64

:

mother of the faithful people of God.

65

:

Not a problem.

66

:

Well,

67

:

speaking of life, say news, my friend,

Father Dave Nix, he said the following.

68

:

He said this quote, Mary is not just

the object of our sweet devotion.

69

:

She's also known

as the exterminate Trix of all heresies.

70

:

This is why the modernist despise her.

71

:

And he says,

and those guys in the Vatican,

72

:

some of those bad guys in the Vatican.

73

:

No, their time is limited.

74

:

As we quickly approach the triumph

of the Immaculate Heart, close quote.

75

:

From your lips to God's ears, Father

Dave, next.

76

:

In fact, both titles

77

:

mediate tricks of all graces and tricks

78

:

have been a part of popular piety

for centuries.

79

:

While the Vatican notes

that tricks emerged in the 15th century

80

:

theologian Father Juniper Carroll.

81

:

He traced its use, called redemptive,

82

:

to a 14th century

liturgical book from Salzburg.

83

:

Also, Pope John Paul the Second use co

redeem tricks relating.

84

:

Or it was actually

he used a related phrase

85

:

to call rodent tricks in his encyclical

called Redeemed Tourist Monitor.

86

:

In 1987, Pope John Paul

the Second use this related phrase.

87

:

He said, quote, like participating

88

:

in the redemption close quote of Christ.

89

:

There's

90

:

also most people don't realize

that there's also a mass in honor

91

:

of Our Lady mediate tricks of all graces.

92

:

This appears in the traditional Roman

Missal

93

:

under the section

for masses for various places.

94

:

This is a liturgical recognition

that underscores

95

:

the historical acceptance of the title.

96

:

Here's also something interesting

97

:

that maybe Cardinal Fernandez

didn't look at.

98

:

It's interesting.

99

:

You'll find modernists like Cardinal

Fernandez and others will always say,

100

:

you know, we've got to read Vatican two.

101

:

We've got to quote Vatican two,

102

:

and they'll basically dismiss everything

before:

103

:

Okay.

104

:

So I'm going to take Cardinal Fernandez

at his word,

105

:

and I'm going to go to Vatican

two documents.

106

:

Here they are.

107

:

Okay.

108

:

The 16 documents,

the Vatican two lumen gentium,

109

:

which is which means

the Constitution on the church

110

:

it calls the Blessed Mother

in Vatican to mediate tricks.

111

:

This quote references four previous popes

112

:

who have called her media tricks

in their writings or lectures.

113

:

Here it is, paragraph 62 of Vatican two

that says,

114

:

therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked

by the church

115

:

under the titles of Advocate,

116

:

auxiliary tricks,

117

:

add do tricks, and mediate tricks.

118

:

This, however, is to be

119

:

so understood that it neither takes away

nor adds anything to the dignity

120

:

and efficacious lives of Christ,

121

:

the one mediator.

122

:

Vatican Two also says

123

:

in paragraph 66 it says.

124

:

Placed by the grace of God is God's mother

125

:

next to her son, and exalted

above all angels and men.

126

:

Mary intervened in the mysteries of Christ

and is justly honored

127

:

by a special cult in the church.

128

:

Here's, also a paragraph 62.

129

:

It says the church does not hesitate.

130

:

Well, then let me get more context for

no creature could ever be

131

:

counted as equal with the Incarnate Word

and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

132

:

Amen.

133

:

Just as the priesthood of Christ is shared

134

:

in various ways,

both by ministers and by faithful.

135

:

And as the one goodness of God

is really communicated in different ways

136

:

to his creatures.

137

:

So also the unique mediation

of the Redeemer

138

:

Jesus Christ does not exclude,

139

:

but rather gives rise

to a manifold cooperation,

140

:

which is but a sharing, a sharing notice

Jesus shares in this one source.

141

:

In fact, it actually says

142

:

in Hebrews chapter three verse 14 it says,

we share in Christ.

143

:

Hebrews 314.

144

:

If Christ is the Redeemer, we share in

Christ we call redeem along with him.

145

:

That's what co means a Latin along with.

146

:

And if we share in Christ

the Blessed Virgin Mary, who

147

:

perfectly shares in Christ her son,

she also is called Redeemer.

148

:

The word cold Latin means along with.

149

:

It says here the church does not hesitate

150

:

to profess this subordinate role of Mary.

151

:

In other words, Jesus is the Redeemer.

152

:

Mary has a subordinate role as a Redeemer.

153

:

This isn't Vatican to.

154

:

It does it through

unfailing experience of it, and commends

155

:

it to the hearts of the faithful,

so that encouraged by this maternal help,

156

:

they may the more intimately adhere

to the Mediator and Redeemer.

157

:

Close quote.

158

:

And by the way, I forgot to mention,

159

:

if you look at the footnotes

of Vatican two and see who it quotes.

160

:

I'm calling Mary Mediate tricks.

161

:

It quotes Pope Leo

162

:

the 13th in his encyclical letter

written in:

163

:

It quotes Saint Pius, the 10th

encyclical letter written in:

164

:

It quotes Pope Pius

the 11th in an encyclical letter

165

:

written in 1928, and it quotes Pope

Pius it to a Venerable Pius

166

:

the 12th in a radio message,

th,:

167

:

So four popes prior to Vatican two here

168

:

are using the title of Mary Atrix.

169

:

In other words,

Mary has already called mediate tricks.

170

:

In Lumen Gentium,

we don't need a papal dogma.

171

:

And you got four popes prior

to Vatican two that are also calling her

172

:

meeting a Trix, which basically,

173

:

it means, you know, called Trix.

174

:

That's what it means.

175

:

Mediators of all graces she call redeems.

176

:

So the argument given

by Cardinal Fernandez

177

:

as to why he wants to delete

this Marian title is because of ecumenism.

178

:

That's false. Humanism.

179

:

What he simply trying to say is,

180

:

we don't want to offend the Protestants,

and let's cave in to the Protestants

181

:

because I don't know,

Catholic apologetics.

182

:

And these Protestants are going to tie me

up in an intellectual pretzel.

183

:

That's exactly what he's saying.

184

:

There is a logical reason

185

:

that we as Catholics, it's logical

that Mary be graciously shielded

186

:

from original sin

and actual sin by the grace of God.

187

:

Of course, previously,

in order to fulfill her role

188

:

as the new Ark of the covenant,

189

:

which, like the prototype

190

:

of the Old Testament

Ark, was holy and set apart.

191

:

Now, nobody would argue

that the new covenant in Christ.

192

:

Nobody would argue

193

:

that the New covenant in

Christ is not superior.

194

:

Of course, we know it's superior

in every way to the Old Covenant.

195

:

It is much more glorious,

196

:

just as the real person

is greater than his shadow.

197

:

Adam was a shadow of Christ.

198

:

Christ is the fulfillment.

199

:

Likewise, the Ark of the New Covenant

is immaculate, radiant,

200

:

and much greater than the prototype,

which only signified something greater.

201

:

The one of whom, the

202

:

angel declared, hail, full of grace,

that's Mary.

203

:

No other woman in history has ever

or will ever be given a greater grace

204

:

or a greater honor than to be used by God

to bring the greatest source of blessing

205

:

to mankind, which is the gift of life,

206

:

the gift of God Himself,

207

:

Our Lady.

208

:

She was set apart for her role

as the new Eve.

209

:

As Irenaeus

tells us back in the second century.

210

:

Mary showed her willingness

to completely submit to God,

211

:

as she declared in Luke 138.

212

:

Let it be done to me.

213

:

According to your word.

214

:

This show of faith allowed Our Lady

to assume her role

215

:

as co redemptive,

because she was the vessel that God chose.

216

:

God sent her apart.

217

:

He called Mary to something

much greater than herself,

218

:

and her cooperation with the grace of God

delivered life to her children.

219

:

That's us.

220

:

Whereas the

221

:

first Eve delivered

only death to her children.

222

:

That's us.

223

:

And the Gospel of Luke records

that Mary's response to Elizabeth

224

:

in Luke 148, for behold,

225

:

henceforth

all generations will call me blessed.

226

:

Close quote

227

:

God breathe.

228

:

Scripture declares

229

:

inherently that all generations

will call her blessed,

230

:

our Lady, the Blessed Mother as advocate.

231

:

This is a doctrine

given to us from the ordinary Magisterium

232

:

as the great saint,

Saint Louis de Montfort.

233

:

He said, quote to Mary,

his faithful spouse, God,

234

:

the Holy Ghost

has communicated his unspeakable gifts,

235

:

and he has chosen her to be the dispenser

of all that he possesses.

236

:

In such wise that Mary distributes

237

:

to whom she wills

as much as she wills, as she wills,

238

:

and when she wills

all his gifts and graces.

239

:

The Holy Ghost gives no

240

:

heavenly gift to men,

which he does not pass through.

241

:

Her virginal hands close quote

242

:

okay,

243

:

Holy Mother Church identifies

244

:

Mary with the woman of Genesis,

chapter three, verse 15,

245

:

whom God said

246

:

would be the perpetual enemy of the devil.

247

:

Let me read it to you in the RSV

248

:

and then in the A reams,

and let me explain to you

249

:

the he shall and she shall crush.

250

:

Okay. The RSV.

251

:

It says

252

:

basically the showing here that God said

253

:

that Jesus will be the perpetual

enemy of the devil.

254

:

It says, God the father says,

Genesis 315, the RSV.

255

:

I will put enmity between you,

whose you, the serpent and the woman.

256

:

What woman?

257

:

That's Mary, and between your seed

258

:

the devil said, yet evil men and her seed.

259

:

Who's the seed of the woman?

260

:

Jesus

261

:

pronoun it says he.

262

:

Jesus shall bruise your head, serpent.

263

:

And you serpent shall bruise his heel.

264

:

That's the RSV. Okay?

265

:

Genesis 315

and the dreams says the following

266

:

quote I will put enmities between thee.

267

:

The serpent and the woman. Mary

268

:

and thy seed, the devil seed and her seed.

269

:

Mary seed. That's Jesus.

270

:

She shall crushed my head.

271

:

And thou shalt lay in wait for her heel.

272

:

Now notice,

273

:

then, the RSV

Christ crushes ahead of Satan.

274

:

Absolutely true.

275

:

In the dewy dreams, Mary crushes

276

:

the head of Satan by virtue of her role

as the Mother of God in the new Eve.

277

:

So for Catholics,

we know that's the new Adam

278

:

and the new Eve,

both of them working in tandem

279

:

as the new Adam, the new Eve, both of them

crush the head of the servant.

280

:

But for Catholics, the word she in

Genesis 315

281

:

is the traditional

reading of the Latin Vulgate

282

:

and it's important because it highlights

the importance of the woman.

283

:

That's Mary

284

:

in in in salvation history.

285

:

In other words, she shall crush

that reading of Genesis 315.

286

:

And the dewy ream supports

the Catholic argument

287

:

that Mary's role

as Mother of God makes her mediate tricks,

288

:

and her role as the new

Eve makes her call Trix.

289

:

The obvious solution to this problem

290

:

is simply to look at the original Hebrew,

291

:

but that's where the problem begins.

292

:

The medieval Hebrew Mesolithic

293

:

manuscripts read he shall crush.

294

:

However, there are two Hebrew manuscripts

295

:

that read she shall crush.

296

:

However,

297

:

there's good reason to doubt the majority

Hebrew reading of he shall crush.

298

:

Why do I say that?

299

:

When we go to our three best

Jewish witnesses to Genesis 315,

300

:

they interpret the passage of Genesis 315

as written by Moses

301

:

as she shall crush

302

:

who interprets it that way.

303

:

Philo Judas.

304

:

Flavius Josephus, the Roman historian.

305

:

And Rabbi Moses,

306

:

my monitor, is the greatest medieval

Jewish philosopher.

307

:

These three Jewish giants,

308

:

they execute Genesis 315,

as Moses wrote it,

309

:

as she shall crush.

310

:

Which is why we have Catholic

311

:

images and statues showing Mary crushing

the head of the serpent.

312

:

That's the interpretation

313

:

of the great Jewish minds on Scripture.

314

:

Philo, the

315

:

the genius.

316

:

He actually argues

that the Hebrew parallel of Genesis

317

:

315 demands

the reading of she shall crush demands it.

318

:

Josephus ladies,

also writing in Greek, describes

319

:

a passage for us as reading

she shall crush.

320

:

And again,

then the last of all, the rabbi.

321

:

My mind that he's he's a saint

Thomas Aquinas for the Jews.

322

:

He also states that Genesis 315 teaches

that the woman shall crush

323

:

the head of the serpent.

324

:

Not a problem

325

:

if she crushes the head of the serpent,

she's the new Eve

326

:

crisis.

327

:

And you, Adam, Christ is the Redeemer.

328

:

She's the redeemed Trix

and the comedian of all graces.

329

:

That's not a problem.

330

:

Brothers and sisters in Christ,

that's a wrap.

331

:

God bless you.

332

:

Keep the faith version most powerful.

333

:

Pray for us.

And pray for Cardinal Fernandez.

334

:

And pray for the Holy Father

and everybody in the Holy See.

335

:

Mother Mary.

336

:

Portents. Aura Pro nobis.

337

:

In the name of the father, son,

and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
