Vatican News "Mater populi fidelis" ni jina la Hati ya Mafundisho iliyochapishwa Jumanne tarehe 4 Novemba 2025, na Baraza la Kipapa la Mafundisho Tanzu ya Kanisa. Hati hiyo ikiwa imesainiwa na Mwenyekiti wa Baraza hilo, Kardinali Víctor Manuel Fernández, na Katibu wa Kitengo cha Mafundisho Tanzu ya Kanisa, Monsignor Armando Matteo, ambao uliidhinishwa na Papa Leo XIV mnamo tarehe 7 Oktoba 2025. Hati hiyo ni tunda la kazi ndefu na ya kina ya ushirika. Ni hati ya mafundisho kuhusu ibada ya Maria, inayozingatia umbo la Maria, ambaye anahusishwa na kazi ya Kristo kama Mama wa Waamini. Ujumbe huu unatoa msingi muhimu wa kibiblia wa kujitoa kwa Maria, pamoja na kukusanya michango mbalimbali kutoka kwa Mababa, Walimu wa Kanisa, vipengele vya Utamaduni wa Mashariki na mawazo ya Mapapa wa hivi karibuni.(Soma Hati nzima kwa kubonyeza hapa: LEGGI QUI IL TESTO INTEGRALE DELLA NOTA DEL DICASTERO PER LA DOTTRINA DELLA FEDE Katika mfumo huu chanya, maandishi ya mafundisho yanachambua majina kadhaa ya Mama Maria, yakithamini baadhi yake huku yakionya dhidi ya matumizi mengine. Majina kama vile Mama wa Waamini, Mama wa Kiroho, na Mama wa Watu Waamini yanathaminiwa sana na Hati hii. Hata hivyo, jina la Mkombozi mwenza, ikiwa na maana ya Mpatanishi linachukuliwa kuwa halifai na lisilofaa. Majina ya Mpatanishi yanachukuliwa kuwa hayakubaliki yanapochukua maana ya pekee kwa Yesu Kristo, lakini yanachukuliwa kuwa ya thamani ikiwa yanaonesha upatanishi unaojumuisha na shirikishi unaotukuza nguvu ya Kristo. Majina ya Mama wa Neema na Mpatanishi wa Neema yote yanachukuliwa kuwa yanakubalika kwa maana fulani maalum, lakini maelezo mapana zaidi yanatolewa kuhusu maana ambazo zinaweza kusababisha hatari. Kimsingi, Hati hiyo inathibitisha mafundisho ya Kikatoliki, ambayo yamekuwa yakisisitiza jinsi kila kitu katika Maria kinavyoelekezwa kwenye kiini cha Kristo na kazi yake ya kuokoa. Kwa sababu hiyo, ingawa baadhi ya majina ya Maria yanaweza kuelezewa kupitia ufafanuzi sahihi, inachukuliwa kuwa bora kuyaepuka. Katika uwasilishaji wake, Kardinali Fernández anathamini ibada ya watu wengi, lakini anaonya dhidi ya vikundi na machapisho yanayopendekeza maendeleo maalum ya kiitikadi na kuzua mashaka miongoni mwa waamini, hata kupitia mitandao ya kijamii. Shida kuu katika kutafsiri majina haya yanayotumika kwa Mama Yetu inahusu jinsi ya kuelewa uhusiano wa Maria na kazi ya ukombozi ya Kristo (3). Mkombozi mwenza Kuhusu jina Mkombozi mwenza hati inakumbuka kwamba baadhi ya Mapapa "wametumia jina hili bila kusita kulielezea. Kwa ujumla, wamewasilisha kuhusiana na umama wa kimungu na kuhusiana na muungano wa Maria na Kristo karibu na Msalaba unaokomboa." Mtaguso wa Pili wa Vatican ulikuwa umeamua kutotumia jina hili "kwa sababu za kidogma, kichungaji, na kiekumene." Mtakatifu Yohane Paulo II "alilitumia, angalau mara saba, akiunganisha zaidi ya yote na thamani ya wokovu wa mateso yetu yaliyotolewa pamoja na yale ya Kristo, ambaye Maria ameunganishwa naye hasa chini ya Msalaba" (18). Hati hiyo inataja mjadala wa ndani ndani ya Baraza la Kipapa la Mafundisho Tanzu ya Kanisa wakati huo, ambao mnamo Februari 1996 lilitafakari ombi la kutangaza fundisho jipya kuhusu Maria kama "Mkombozi mwenza au Mpatanishi wa neema zote." Maoni ya Papa Benedikto XIV yalikuwa kinyume: "Maana sahihi ya majina hayaeleweki wazi na mafundisho yaliyomo ndani yake hayajakomaa... Bado haijabainika jinsi mafundisho yaliyoelezwa katika majina yalivyo katika Maandiko na katika utamaduni wa mitume." Baadaye, mwaka wa 2002, Papa Benedikto XVI wa baadaye pia alijieleza hadharani kwa njia ile ile: "Kanuni ya “Mkombozi mwenza inatofautishwa sana na lugha ya Maandiko na mababa wa Kanisa na kwa hivyo husababisha kutoelewana... Kila kitu kinatoka Kwake, kama Barua kwa Waefeso na Wakolosai zinavyothibitisha juu ya yote. Maria ndiye alivyo shukrani Kwake. Neno “Mkombozi mwenza lingeficha asili yake." Kardinali Ratzinger, wa wakati huo wa wakati ule, katika Hati inaelezea,kuwa hakukana kwamba kulikuwa na nia njema na vipengele muhimu katika pendekezo la kutumia jina hili, lakini alisisitiza kwamba lilikuwa " isiyo sahihi" (19). Papa Francisko ameelezea msimamo wake waziwazi dhidi ya matumizi ya jina hili la " Mkombozi mwenza," angalau mara tatu. Hati ya mafundisho inahitimisha katika suala hili: “haifai kila wakati kutumia jina la “Mkombozi mwenza” kufafanua ushirikiano wa M 4,877 / 5,000 Pontifical Congregation for the Doctrine of the Church. Pontifical Congregation for the Doctrine of the Church. (Vatican Media) Vatican Doctrinal Note on the Titles of Mary: Mother of the Faithful, Not Co-Redemptrix The Document "Mater populi fidelis" from the Pontifical Congregation for the Doctrine of the Church, approved by Pope Leo XIV, defines the titles to be used for Our Lady. Special attention is also paid to the title "Mediatrix of All Graces." Vatican News "Mater populi fidelis" is the title of the Doctrine Document published on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, by the Pontifical Congregation for the Doctrine of the Church. The document, signed by the President of the Council, Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, and the Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Church, Monsignor Armando Matteo, was approved by Pope Leo XIV on 7 October 2025. The document is the fruit of a long and profound work of the association. It is a doctrinal document on the devotion to Mary, focusing on the figure of Mary, who is associated with the work of Christ as Mother of the Faithful. This message provides an important biblical basis for devotion to Mary, as well as gathering various contributions from the Fathers, Doctors of the Church, elements of Eastern Culture and the thoughts of recent Popes. (Read the entire document by clicking here: LEGGI QUI IL TESTO INTEGRALE DELLA NOTA DEL DICASTERO PER LA DOTTRINA DELLA FEDE In this positive framework, the doctrinal text analyzes several titles for Mother Mary, valuing some of them while warning against other uses. Titles such as Mother of the Faithful, Mother of Spirituality, and Mother of the Faithful are highly valued by this document. However, the title of co-Redemptrix, with the meaning of Mediator, is considered inappropriate and inappropriate. The titles of Mediator are considered unacceptable when they take on a specific meaning for Jesus Christ, but are considered valuable if they indicate an inclusive and participatory mediation that glorifies the power of Christ. The titles of Mother of Grace and Mediatrix of Grace are both considered acceptable in a specific sense, but more detailed explanations are given about the meanings that can lead to dangers. In essence, the Document confirms Catholic teaching, which has always emphasized how everything in Mary is directed towards the essence of Christ and his saving work. For this reason, although some names of Mary can be explained through a precise definition, it is considered better to avoid them. In his presentation, Cardinal Fernández appreciates the devotion of many people, but warns against groups and publications that propose specific ideological developments and arouse doubts among the faithful, even through social networks. The main difficulty in interpreting these names applied to Our Lady concerns how to understand the relationship of Mary with the redemptive work of Christ (3). Co-Redemptrix Regarding the name Co-Redemptrix, the document recalls that some Popes "have used this name without hesitation to explain it. In general, they have presented it in relation to the divine motherhood and in relation to the union of Mary with Christ around the redemptive Cross." The Second Vatican Council had decided not to use this name "for dogmatic, pastoral, and ecumenical." Saint John Paul II "used it, at least seven times, linking above all the salvific value of our sufferings offered with those of Christ, with whom Mary is united especially at the foot of the Cross" (18). The document refers to an internal debate within the Pontifical Congregation for the Doctrine of the Church at that time, which in February 1996 considered a request to promulgate a new doctrine on Mary as "Co-Redemptrix or Mediatrix of all graces." Pope Benedict XIV's opinion was the opposite: "The precise meaning of the names is not clear and the doctrine contained in them is not mature... It is not yet clear how the doctrine expressed in the names is in Scripture and in the apostolic tradition." Later, in 2002, the future Pope Benedict XVI also expressed himself publicly in the same way: "The principle of "Co-Redemptrix" is very different from the language of Scripture and the Fathers of the Church and therefore gives rise to misunderstandings... Everything comes from her, as the Letters to the Ephesians and Colossians confirm above. of all. Mary is the one to whom He is grateful. The term “Co-Redemptrix” would conceal its origin. Cardinal Ratzinger, then of that time, in the Document explains, that he did not deny that there were good intentions and important elements in the proposal to use this title, but he insisted that it was “incorrect” (19). Pope Francis has clearly stated his position against the use of this title “Co-Redemptrix,” at least three times. The Document concludes on this point: “it is not always appropriate to use the title “Co-Redemptrix”
