Abstract

In the recent Doctrinal Note Mater Populi Fidelis, published in 2025, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith expressed an invitation to pay greater attention to the precise use, proper meaning, and interpretation of titles and expressions referring to Mary (MPF 2). This article provides a response to this invitation and examines the Marian legacy of the Second Vatican Council, focusing on the title of Mary “Mother of the Church.” This title was presented using a comparative method of the documents published before the Second Vatican Council and during the council’s deliberations with its solemn promulgation. The third chapter examines the postconciliar reception of this Marian title in ordinary papal teaching, theology, liturgy, and Marian devotion. In the conclusions, key findings from the reception process are presented, as well as persisting difficulties concerning the title “Mother of the Church.”
