The Co-Redemptrix thinking doesn't work that way.  Mary is a human being
- a creature - and would never be considered Jesus' equal nor would she
ever be considered a deity.  What Co-Redemptrix means is actually quite
subtle and a little difficult for me to explain without my books - but
basically it means that God loves Mary more than any other *creature*
and so he gave his son to the world through Mary.  So the thinking is
that she is thus the Co-Redeemer.  Similar thoughts are that the Trinity
like it when people pray not *to* Mary but *through* Mary to Jesus or
God, because he so loves her that he will not refuse anything she
requests of Him.

So, Mary is and was and always will be considered a *creature* or a
creation of God - the one most loved by God though.

Now, I am sure a theologian could explain it better than this, sorry.

Kelly, what you say may be true from a strict theological standpoint, but
let me assure you that the average person-in-the-street will view it
differently. Mariolatry comes perilously close to heresy as it is; adding
the doctrine of Mary as CoRedemptrix only makes it easier for people to
consider her to be actually divine. And please pay close attention to the
things that have been posted on the list about the creation of a New Age
religion centered on Diana...something is definitely evolving in that
direction, with some highly sophisticated psyops encouraging it.
Developments concerning Mary only feed that tendency.

I agree totally, which is why I think the Catholic Church will never
allow it.  The current Pope does encourage devotion to Mary, but that is
much different than proclaiming her Co-Remdemtrix.  We'll see though.


 Mariolatry comes perilously close to heresy as it is; adding
 the doctrine of Mary as CoRedemptrix only makes it easier for people to
 consider her to be actually divine.


Yes, which is not and never has been and never will be proclaimed by the
Church.  It is okay for a woman to be the Mother of God, but Heaven
forbid she actually be considered a *deity*.  No, women have a very
strict place in the Catholic Church.  And being a deity ain't part of
the picture.  What is interesting, to me at any rate, is how the Pope is
now making clear that God is neither male nor female but a spirit.  But
Mary was obviously a woman.  And they say that Mary is the spouse of the
Holy Spirit.  So go figure it all out.  Pretty complicated!


 And please pay close attention to the
 things that have been posted on the list about the creation of a New Age
 religion centered on Diana...something is definitely evolving in that
 direction, with some highly sophisticated psyops encouraging it.

Yes, thank you Robert for all your insights.  I appreciate your
postings.  And to everyone on the list, I wish you all a Happy Holiday
season - since I don't come out of lurkdom often, maybe I can get away
with that!  I appreciate all the effort the regular posters put into
their postings very much.

Thank you all!
