All I can do is shake my head in disbelief as people intentionally set about misusing a word....redeem.

There is only one sacrifice. It was made by Christ. The price was paid by Christ. The redemption was effective. The proof is the resurrection.

There is no other redemption that needs being made.

Truly said, we are redeemed by the blood of Christ alone. Eph 1:7, Col 1:14

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us].

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. – Hebrews 9:11-15

The title “co-redemptrix” - like the title “mother of God” and “queen of heaven” - does not communicate what the posters here say is intended. The term suggests the blood of Christ was not sufficient or conversely, that Mary is part of the Godhead.

I can see no justification for intentionally using a term which is widely understood to be non-communicative and which will surely harden the differences which already exist among the brethren.

These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. - Prov 6:16-19

Only God can make redemption on account of men. It is an act of divine will and power. No human can be add to, or subtract from it.

In this case, you, the Orthodox and many, many Catholics, as this thread clearly shows, are on the same sheet of music.
