Co-Redemptrix - Latin meaning the woman with the Redeemer. Co-Redemptrix does not mean the woman equal to the Redeemer.

Those of you who slept through Latin class may now return to your blissful state of ignorance.

Notice the clever use of co-redempress, instead of redemptrix?
clever change of conjugation supplying a perfect reason for people to fume.

An understanding of Latin is not exactly rare.

The meaning of the word co-redemptrix is clear. "Co-" as in copilot or coequal. The meaning would be “partner” in the English equivalent. Redemptrix is the feminine form of Redeemer. So, the Latin roots do mean that such a co-redemptrix shares a role in Redemption.
