“That would be great if that is what Rome preached, but clearly it’s not since Rome tells us Mary is a “co-redeemer.”
You are misinterpreting “co-redeemer”. If you don’t believe me, simply google the catechism of the Catholic Church and read the official interpretation is.
There is nothing in Catholic doctrine that requires one to have the intercession of Mary to Jesus. You can ask her to intercede, the belief being that Jesus would listen to his Mother. But there is no intercession required to talk or pray to Jesus.
The church in Rome encourages such requests, in contradiction to God's word and the truth of Christ risen.
Why would anyone listen to a church that makes that kind of error?
What do you think idolatry is if not looking to someone other than God for our salvation?
And this foolish notion that God somehow "listens to his Mother" is blasphemy. Please note you capitalized "Mother," but not "his."
