For those who may have not delved into this aspect of the RCC, here are other solid examples of the RCC proclaiming their image of 'Mary' as mediator, co-savior and even savior - in other words: divine goddess.
Ubi Primum, Pope Pius IX 1849
The foundation of all Our confidence, as you know well, Venerable Brethren, is found in the Blessed Virgin Mary. For, God has committed to Mary the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation. For this is His will, that we obtain everything through Mary.

Redemptoris Mater, His Holiness Pope John Paul II, March 25 1987
THE MOTHER OF THE REDEEMER has a precise place in the plan of salvation, for "when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying 'Abba! Father!'" (Gal 4:4-6).
…Thus there is a mediation: Mary places herself between her Son and mankind in the reality of their wants, needs and sufferings. She puts herself "in the middle," that is to say she acts as a mediatrix not as an outsider, but in her position as mother. She knows that as such she can point out to her son the needs of mankind, and in fact, she "has the right" to do so. Her mediation is thus in the nature of intercession: Mary "intercedes" for mankind.

RCC Catechism 969
"Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation.... Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix."

RCC Catechism 1172
"In celebrating this annual cycle of the mysteries of Christ, Holy Church honors the Blessed Mary, Mother of God, with a special love. She is inseparably linked with the saving work of her Son."

Message of Fatima, 1917
“You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my [Mary's] Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.
