My opinion is that to proclaim the co-redemptrix dogma would alienate the Orthodox for another few centuries. It is fine as a theolegoumenon, but as a dogma it will be unnecessarily divisive.

B16 has already said that he will not declare her Co-redemptrix so it’s a moot point.

That’s certainly true.

“It is fine as a theolegoumenon, but as a dogma it will be unnecessarily divisive.”

I don’t think it even makes the grade of theologoumenon. I suspect most Orthodox Christians would call it a Christological heresy. I am baffled that anyone would believe such a thing and wonder what possible reason there could be for such a belief.
