*venerate Mary as "co-redeemer"

Not currently Catholic doctrine.

*consider your priest as "another Christ"

This does not mean what it is being contorted to mean...it does not mean each priest is some kind of fresh Messiah.

*pray to dead people rather than Jesus Christ, the "one mediator between God and men"

They are not dead.

*say a man in Rome in "infallible" in religious matters (recall JPII kissing the Koran)

Infallibility applies when it is invoked. JPII kissing the Koran, if that is what it was, was not an ex cathedra declaration of a doctrine of faith.

*believe that vain and changeable tradition is equal to and even superior to God's holy word...

Catholicism does not teach that.

Well, I’ve already offered it to 2 others at no charge, but I’ll loan you my tagline too.
