Mater Populi Fidelis (Mother of Faithful People)

"The authorities amongst you have given me so many titles and you continue to search for more." - Blessed Mother to Adelia (December 7th, 1996)

With the approval of the Holy Father Pope Leo XIV, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has released a document titled "Mater Populi Fidelis (Mother of Faithful People) - Doctrinal Note on Some Marian Titles Regarding Mary’s Cooperation in the Work of Salvation".

Some points to note in relation to the document, One Heart Association and the messages from the Blessed Mother to Adelia:
​

• Due to the necessary explanations needed and to avoid confusion, it is inappropriate to refer to the Blessed Mother with the title "Co-redemptrix" (Paragraph 22 of Mater Populi Fidelis).
  
  
• ​The messages of the Blessed Mother to Adelia never use the title "Co-redemptrix".
  
  
• Other claimed messages from the Blessed Mother to alleged visionaries often quote the title "Co-redemptrix". Further to this, some claim the Blessed Mother to actively encourage people to advocate the Church to formally recognise the title "Co-redemptrix."
  ​
• When Pope Pius XI formally defined the title and doctrine of "Immaculate Conception" as a dogma in 1854, it was not until 4 years later that the Blessed Mother used this title when appearing to the young Bernadette Soubirous in Lourdes. The Blessed Mother always submits Herself to Her Son and His Church.
