Mediatrix?

While googling about the conspiracy theories on the resignation of the pope, I came across this note:

In his Latin-language letter naming Archbishop Zygmunt Zimowski, president of the Pontifical Council for Health Pastoral Care, as his special envoy to the solemn celebration of the World Day of the Sick at the Shrine of Our Lady of Altötting (Germany), Pope Benedict entrusted the prelate’s mission “to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary Immaculate, Mediatrix of all graces” [intercessioni Beatae Virginis Mariae Immaculatae, Mediatricis omnium gratiarum].
Although the Second Vatican Council and numerous popes have invoked the Blessed Virgin as “Mediatrix,” the papal use of the title “Mediatrix of all graces” is far rarer. The phrase occurs most authoritatively in Caritate Christi Compulsi, Pope Pius XI’s 1932 encyclical on the Sacred Heart, and has appeared on a handful of other occasions in documents issued by Pope Benedict XV, Pope Pius XI, Venerable Pius XII, and Blessed John XXIII.
In documents issued in 1979, 1980, and 1987, Blessed John Paul II raised churches dedicated under this title to cathedral or basilica status and referred to the Blessed Virgin in one of the documents (the 1987 apostolic constitution Frequentissimae) as the “most chaste Mediatrix of all graces.”

This only means that Mary, like us, can pray for graces for others.

But to Pinoys, it is interesting, since the apparation in Lipa had Mary appearing using that name.

The Lipa apparition resulted in the normal outburst of piety of the Pinoy that scandalized the Vatican, so it was shut down.

An ABS CBN special discusses how those involved were harassed or removed, and how the bishops were ordered to sign a paper stating that vision was a fraud.

I believe this, because one of our exchage students in the US had relatives in Opus Dei and an uncle in the Jesuits who worked in the Vatican diplomatic corps. He discussed how his uncle was trying to shut down approval of the Akita Japan vision and mentioned how he related how the vatican ordered it shut down in the Philippines. I hadn't heard of Lipa at the time, but I was dating my husband and interested in the Philippines at the time, so remember the remark.

Interesting side note: Yes, the Teresita Castillo of the vision is the same one who worked on the Tagalog English dictionary
