The Pope called on Mary today.
VATICAN CITY, Jan. 1 (UPI) -- Pope Benedict XVI paid the traditional New Year's homage to the Virgin Mary Sunday at a public mass at St. Peter's Basilica.
Benedict called Mary "mediator of God's blessing for the world," a role the Roman Catholic Church has since assumed.
"The Church also participates in the mystery of divine motherhood, through preaching, which sows the seed of the Gospel throughout the world, and through the sacraments, which communicate grace and divine life to men," the pontiff told the crowd.

For centuries the church has relegated Mary to being a mere vessel...now She's the mediator...perhaps in a short time She will be known as God/dess and the giver of all blessings.
Here's to that day soon.
