Don't fear, the Orthodox will always be there as a bulwark against the Devil, that you Catholics can flee to. We don't and won't buy into this silly crap and our faith and faithful is only growing throughout the world. Wait till the groups pushing to raise Mary as a co-redimer win in the Catholic church, that will be a hoot to watch.

The term is Co-redemptrix.

'The term “co-redemptrix” is properly translated “the woman with the redeemer” or more literally “she who buys back with [the redeemer].” The prefix “co” comes from the Latin term “cum” which means “with” and not “equal to.” Co-redemptrix therefore as applied to Mary refers to her exceptional cooperation with and under her divine son Jesus Christ, in the redemption of the human family, as manifested in Christian Scripture.' Co-redemptrix

The Blessed Virgin Mary is not a co-redimer(sic) in the manner to which you allude.

Is there a reason you're here trolling the Catholic threads with a faux-Orthodox recruitment pitch?
