You already know this from all the Marian threads to which you gravitate, but sometimes it's worth repeating.

And what does the large majority of Catholics feel???

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.

She said Yes, that's it in a nutshell, the rest is history to our benefit. She is also full of grace, immaculately conceived, gave Jesus his DNA at the incarnation (not the first trimester to any pro aborts reading this), his human face, his human fabric and personhood, raised and taught Jesus and suffered along with him.

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