Was the Pope correct that Mary was a co-mediator and a co-redeemer with Christ?

Was he correct that salvation is not by grace through faith, but instead by works plus faith?

Was he correct that there is a purgatory?

Was he correct that some believers deserve to be recognized as saints when we all believers are saints according to Scripture (yes, I am aware that thet Catholic tradition of naming saints does not mean there are not other saints....but by singling out people for higher veneration, the equality of believers is destroyed...Scripture refers to all believers as saints and does not authorize church judgment to call certain ones definite saints while passing by others.

Was he correct that he is infallible when on the Chair speaking doctrine?

Was he right to forbid marriage when Scripture says that is sin to forbid people to marry?

If he is Biblically correct in these things, I will retract my charge.

That the Pope did not say. Jesus is Redeemer, Mary is co-redemptrix. Jesus is not co-redeemer.

Try learning what Catholics believe before asking whether they're correct or not. But since you asked, yes, Catholic beliefs are all correct.

If he is Biblically correct in these things, I will retract my charge.

Ha! We would have to know your personal interpretation of the Bible to give you an answer you would accept. Suffice it to say every Catholic belief is consistent with (not necessarily solely reliant on) Scripture according to our interpretation, as guided by and revealed through the Holy Spirit. You don't want to argue with the Holy Spirit, do you?
