Formal "Dogmatization" of any article of the faith generally doesn't happen unless dissent and controversy are threatening the unity of the Church.

Nonsense.

The Fifth Marian Dogma.

This would pretty much finish elevating Mary officially to a fourth member of the Trinity.

It's gonna happen because Roman Catholics want it to happen....not that it's Scripturaly sound in any measure and contradicts Scripture....but that's not stopped Roman Catholicism before.

You assert, wrongly, dogmas aren't made unless there is dissent and controversy. Rome's sources say different.

The Marian dogmas of her Immaculate Conception and her Assumption, for example, were solemnly proclaimed only after a lengthy petition drive from the Catholic faithful to the Holy Father. Before the papal definition of the Immaculate Conception by Blessed Pius IX in 1854, millions of petitions from the Catholic world were sent to the Vatican, with particular perseverance coming from Spain and its Catholic government. In the case of the Assumption, infallibly declared by Pius XII in 1950, over 8 million petitions spanning 95 years were documented by the Holy Office in support of this Marian dogma.https://catholicexchange.com/the-fifth-marian-dogma-the-churchs-unused-weapon

"Fifth Marian dogma"?

From Wikipedia:

"Co-Redemptrix is a title used by some Roman Catholics for the Blessed Virgin Mary, as well as a Catholic theological concept referring to Mary's role in the redemption of all peoples. It has always been controversial and has never formed part of the dogma of the Church. "

This is not a dogma.

Pre-criticizing a non-dogma. Wow. The Full Cathy Newman!!
