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.

Nonetheless, because of the confusion, and the resultant changes that ensue by this embrace, I would reject the claim of Mary as Co-Redemptrix. I will, however, continue in my deep love and admiration for her, and continue to pray the rosary, and continue to thank her for the many intercessions I confidently attribute to her. This is my humble opinion. V's wife.

Thank you for your excellent post. I was about to post a tome when I glanced down and saw your succinct and well phrased post. Again, many thanks.
Mary, Queen of All Saints, pray for us.
