Ecumenism is the Holy Father's pet project. He thinks that is his mission, I suppose. But ecumenism is probably only one of the reasons coredemptrix was rejected. No doubt the Church was thinking also of Catholics, who are weaker than you and me. Many Catholics would probably misunderstand the theology, or disregard it completely. On one side, you'd have people worshiping Mary as a second Christ, on the other side you'd have people drop the Church entirely because they're fed up with "Mary worship". Both groups of people would be wrong about what "coredemptrix" means, but they would nonetheless be damaged. Their faith would weaken. The Church must think of them.

Your post is a bit condescendng, lillabett.

There are many theologians who are dead against this "Co-Redemptrix" definition as well, since it is not obviously scriptural and the teaching of Mediatrix already encompasses the idea of Mary as a special intercessor with Her Son.
