I am sure the knowledge that Mary being the co-Redemptrix does not deify her, is among those insights into Catholicism you have gained here.

I'm pretty certain you are too young to remember the years of "propaganda/preparation" preceding the declaration of the Bodily Assumption Of Mary. I remember it well.

This "Co-Redemptrix" thing is "Deja Vu all over again" (Yogi Berra).

Prepare yourself.

As a spontaneous belief, the Assumption isn't new. There were churches of the Assumption, if I recall right, in Carolingian Germany; you might be old enough to remember those.

I also think that the WWII was the best propaganda one could wish for, for the dogmatization of the belief.
