I just don't buy this idea that Mary stands between me and Christ, that His grace comes through her to me, like she is an aqueduct. This seems to be the traditional idea of "mediatrix" but it just seems excessive. I agree with this docuмent when it says that God is the one who bestows graces through Christ. Directly to us, not through any intermediaries like Mary. She prays for us, but she doesn't stand between God and us, right? This traditional idea of mediatrix seems highly excessive. And I'm comfortable disagreeing with it because it's just theological opinion
