And, you continue to insist on "co" to mean "subordinate." That is not the commonly accepted meaning, and you know it.

I have only insisted that "co-" in this "instance" implies cooperation. A position that is supported by the nature of the prefix "co-" as it can indeed indicate a "supportive" or a "cooperative" relationship. You, on the other hand have, despite the reasoned and logical arguments given you, impudently insisted "co-" can only mean "equals," at least to the masses. This foolish appeal to the dubious authority of "the masses" is illogical considering the numerious occasions in which "co-" is used in modern English whithout denoting "equality." This fallacious argument of yours, which by now you must see as totally unjustifiable, has led me to believe you must have some philosophical objection to the Marian doctrines that you are unwilling to reveal; especially considering the value you place on the Marian doctrines as they pertain to the Faith of "Most Catholics" as you put it earler.

Thanks for the explanation, but I continue to disagree.

Ah yes, the parting shots of the intellectually lazy. :)

You can have the last word, Diva. I'm done arguing over this.

The fact that Co-Redemptrix has not been defined ought to indicate to you the difficulty the Church has with it.

I'm opposed to the definition of Mary as Co-Redemptrix. It is not scriptural, and runs the risk of elevating Mary to a co-equal status with Her Son.
