[Revelation 911]

Catholics love, respect and honor their mother Mary for having said "yes" when God, through His messenger the Archangel Gabriel, asked her to be the Mother of our Lord. That "yes" brought into this world, our Savior. And, as he hung, nailed to the cross, He entrusted His mother to John and to us. Mary is due that honor, love and respect.

with regards to her conception and the notion of co-redeemer, the Catholic position is what ?

[Lilllabettt]

Regarding her conception, the Catholic position is that Christ Jesus saved her from ever being stained by sin, from the moment of her creation. Everything about her had to be pure, because she was going to give Christ his human body, his DNA, etc., and that had to be perfect.

Regarding the "co-redeemer" thing, Catholics are permitted freedom in what they think about that. Mother Teresa, for example, supported a movement to define the "co-redeemer" idea as a dogma of the Faith. Cardinal Ratzinger did not support that movement.
