Mary’s pivotal role in salvation history did not end with her giving birth to the Son of God, but rather continues to the present time.

And she's up for a promotion if catholicism has its way.

You are aware there is a petition going around to declare a fifth marian dogma....right?

The proclamation of the Dogma of Mary Co-redemptrix, Mediatrix, and Advocate by the Holy Father will enable the Mother of Jesus to shower the world with a historic outpouring of grace, redemption, and peace in a new and dynamic way—an event which Marian apparitions like Fatima refer to as the “Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”

And here we Christians were thinking it was Christ that did all of this for us.

This is why Christians reject catholic teachings.

Thanks for posting that. Never heard of it before.

This from one of the sites that came up when I googled the subject:

It is part of the rich tradition of our Catholic faith to petition the popes regarding the proclamation of Marian dogmas. For example, millions of petitions by the Christian faithful led to the dogmas of the Immaculate Conception (1854) and the Assumption (1950). With every Marian dogma, extraordinary graces are poured upon the world through Our Lady’s most powerful intercession.

Petitioning for dogmas? Must be a new kind of bingo night.

As explained by Pope John Paul II:

Crucified spiritually with her crucified Son (cf. Gal. 2:20), she contemplated with heroic love the death of her God, she “lovingly consented to the immolation of this Victim which she herself had brought forth” (LG 58) … as she was in a special way close to the Cross of her Son, she also had to have a privileged experience of his Resurrection. In fact, Mary’s role as co-redemptrix did not cease with the glorification of her Son.[1]

Through faith and Baptism, we become God’s children by adoption and participate in the divine life. As new creations in Christ, we cooperate in His redemptive work. While this is true of all Christians, it is most perfectly true of Mary, who was never wounded or enslaved by sin and therefore was perfectly free to give herself completely to Christ.
