Any organization which has elevated Mary to co-redemptrix has subjugated Scriptural truth to a feminized gender expediency.

Boy are you way off here. Not only do you not know Catholic doctrine, which you should at least attempt to do before making sweeping statements about it, it is the Traditional Roman Catholic chapels, (where traditional Roman Catholic doctrine is preached, believed and practiced,) that are overflowing with men. The Catholic parishes that have become feminized are the ones that reject traditional Catholic doctrine.

Our Blessed Mother is the antithesis to feminism, and it is through the rejection of true devotion to her that feminism flourishes.

Ditto for Protestants. The more Bible-centered they are, the more men show up. But the "love song" worship needs to be changed to something with gravitas -- ancient chants, classic 19th century hymns, heavy metal, rap -- ANYTHING but the "Jesus baby baby" stuff we have now.

BTW an analysis of the Aramaic new testament reveals that a lot of Jesus' speeches and teachings rhymed in the original. Was he in fact a rapper?
