A New Marian Dogma?

 In light of recent positive advancements towards the international movement for a fifth Marian dogma of Our Lady as the Spiritual Mother of All Humanity, Co-redemptrix, Mediatrix of All Graces, and Advocate, we here provide the following brief work describing the fundamental elements of Our Lady's role and the reasons why over 500 bishops and  over 7 million faithful believe now is the right time to crown Our Lady with this fifth Marian dogma.

Do we find support for the proposed Dogma of Mary Co-redemptrix, Mediatrix of all Graces and Advocate in Scripture?

The Redemption

The salvation of humanity was accomplished by God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. The Passion and Death of Christ, our sole Redeemer, was not only sufficient but "superabundant" satisfaction for human guilt and the consequent debt of punishment. But God willed that this work of salvation be accomplished through the collaboration of a woman, while always respecting her free will. "When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman" (Gal. 4:4).

Co-redemptrix in Scripture

Permeating Scripture is God's revelation that his plan of redemption will involve, first and foremost, the collaboration of two persons: the "woman" and her "seed." This is first revealed in the book of Genesis: "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed: she shall crush your head..." (Gen. 3:15). This passage of Scripture prophetically foreshadows Mary with her divine Son in the promise of victory over the serpent. It reveals God's will that the "woman" share in the same "enmity" (absolute opposition) between herself and the serpent as does her "seed," Jesus Christ. This great struggle and victory over the serpent foreshadows the divine work of redemption by Jesus Christ, with the Mother of the Redeemer's intimate collaboration in his saving work.
