At Diane Montagna’s Substack:

« An Italian Mariologist has offered an in-depth analysis of Mater Populi Fidelis, the new doctrinal note from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, arguing that it adopts a minimalist view of the Blessed Virgin Mary and risks halting—or even reversing—the theological development of Marian soteriology, that is, the understanding of Mary’s role in salvation.

According to Fr. Serafino Maria Lanzetta, Mater Populi Fidelis (MPF) represents “a significant downgrade” not only from the teaching of the saints, doctors, and ordinary magisterium of the popes, but also from the Second Vatican Council’s treatment of Mary’s role in salvation as presented in Chapter 8 of the dogmatic constitution on the Church, Lumen Gentium. »
