Unfortunately, that is simply not correct. A few years ago I was visiting my Bro-in-law in Santa Barbara, California. On that Saturday morning there was a two page spread in the paper about an organization housed at the mission there, whose basic tenet was that Mary was indeed divine, and was co-redeemer, and they were making as much noise as they could (with the help of the local rag) and petitioning pope John-Paul to make such a declaration.
Catholics that are properly practicing Catholicism do not view Mary as divine. Did Pope John Paul II make this declaration? No he did not and it is not proper Catholic teaching to view Mary in that way. There's always bad apples in every bunch.
What was the rag? Doesn't the fact that a NEWSPAPER was pushing it sound a little, i dunno, PHONY to you?
