IMPORTANT UPDATE: A portion of this episode speaks of Mary with the titles of 'Co-Redemptrix' and 'Mediatrix' that the Magisterium has since asked the faithful to refrain from using. "In “Mater Populi Fidelis” (“The Mother of the Faithful People of God”), the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) said when an expression requires frequent explanation to maintain the correct meaning, it becomes unhelpful" (CNA, 11-4-2025).
