Mediatrix of All Graces is a special Marian title that some Roman Catholics give to the Blessed Virgin Mary as the mother of Jesus Christ, encompassing the belief that all the graces and blessings that her son gives come through her. This attributes to her a role more extensive than the role of mediation or intercession attributed to her in Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy and Oriental Orthodoxy and for which the title "Mediatrix" is used.〔(Jill Dubisch, ''In a Different Place'' (Princeton University Press 1995 ISBN 9780691029672), p. 236 )〕 The Second Vatican Council referred in its document ''Lumen gentium'' to Mary as "Advocate, Auxiliatrix, Adjutrix and Mediatrix". It did not use the phrase "Mediatrix ''of all graces''". The establishment of ''Mediatrix of all graces'' as a dogma is still being debated among Catholic theologians, given that it goes further than the use of the title Mediatrix and the doctrine of Mary having a higher level of saintly intercession (due to her special relationship with her son Jesus). 〔''L'Osservatore Romano'', Weekly Edition in English (25 June 1997, page 10 )〕 On 12 September 2015, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments through the Archdiocese of Lipa in the Philippines formally declared the 1948 Marian apparition under the title Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces to be authentic and worthy of pious belief. ==Proposal for dogmatic definition== In 1896, French Jesuit priest René-Marie de la Broise interpreted Pope Leo XIII's papal encyclical ''Octobri mense''〔(Pope Leo XIII, Encyclical ''Octobri mense'', 22 September 1891 ); cf. (William G. Most, "Church Teaching on Mary as Mediatrix of (All) Graces" )〕 as teaching that ''all'' graces from Jesus Christ are imparted through Mary. Broise proposed that the pontiff should make a dogmatic definition about the role of Mary in the distribution of all graces, but did not require that it be in the form of declaring her to be the mediatrix of all graces.〔(Gloria Falcão Dodd, ''The Virgin Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces: History and Theology of the Movement for a Dogmatic Definition from 1896 - 1964'' (Academy of the Immaculate 2012 ISBN 978-1-60114061-6), pp. 51–52 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mediatrix of all graces」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
