I don't know about that. The co in co-redemprtix comes with the Latin word "con" which means "with." Yes, Jesus was the only one on the Cross. However, Mary, the women, and John were the only ones who stood by Him to His Death. In this, Mary stands out because she is His Mother.

But there's something in the back of my memory and I can't dredge it out, but some kind of doctrine group in your church decided that co-redemptrix wasn't official doctrine.

It went to the heart of the eucharist and transubstantiation, I think. Jesus was on the cross; it was Jesus' blood that was shed; redemption is in His blood and no other.

Something like that. They were concerned it somehow violated eucharistic teaching.

This is way too confusing and declaring such a title would be a disaster from a prudential viewpoint. The prefix "co" has an obvious prima facie meaning which would create confusion and potential for heretical misunderstandings when it's used in a non-obvious way. The other title that is currently debated, "mediatrix of all graces," makes a lot more sense. It's less open to misunderstanding and better supported by theology and history.
