Deifying Mary is prohibited by the Catholic Church.

But this appears confusing to many people because we are told in Scripture to kneel to none but Christ alone. And yet the RCC encourages its members to kneel to Mary and to pray to Mary and to view Mary as a mediator between God and men and, as John Paul II said on at least six occasions, Mary is to be considered as the "co-redeemer" and the "dispenssatrix of all grace."

Is a redeemer of men's souls a diety?

>>Mary is to be considered as the “co-redeemer”<<

If you can’t point that out in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, it taint true.

Your question has nothing to do with Catholicism.

There's nothing confusing about it. Deifying Mary is prohibited by the Catholic Church.

we are told in Scripture to kneel to none but Christ alone.

Where does Scripture prohibit all kneeling except to Christ?

There is one redeemer of men's souls and He is the deity.
