If you google it, you do find a very esoteric tenet of catholicism that says Mary is not only mother of god, as she is commonly referred to, but also mother of men, related to jesus' unique status as both son of god and son of man, a more common catholic concept.
Still I don't think MMY's use of the term has anything to do with esoteric catholic doctrine, but run of the mill vedic doctrine instead, his own tradition, something every sidha is familiar with from the mandala portion of his program in which the blessing "may you have auspicious male progeny, or be the mother of many male offspring ... etc etc is repeated over and over again throughout the mandalas.
