Taking the Lord’s name in vain is blasphemy... and since the Virgin Mary is the Mother of Christ, and by her fiat He entered this world, and by her womb He received His flesh... then by that action Mary is co-redemtrix. To insult the Holy Mother of God, to wit: “the Mother of Jesus Christ” who is our Creator, is thus to blaspheme God Himself. So my accusation stands.

“Mary is co-redemtrix”

There is where our theology differs. Declaring Mary co-redemtrix raises her to the level of a deity. That, IMHO, is blasphemy.

Jesus is the ONLY redeemer, and the ONLY one anybody needs to be redeemed. Everybody needs to be redeemed by Jesus.

Mary herself needed to redeemed by Jesus (her physical son) to be redeemed and enter heaven.

>>then by that action Mary is co-redemtrix.<<

I love your zeal here but no, she is not co-redemtrix.
Not per the Vatican. And yes, I am Catholic.
