You may all return to your life of blissful ignorance.
Oh. Then the article could’ve said that. Would save time.
:-)
Why would Catholics use an English term that breaks down as this:
“Co” - meaning “equal” or “like”
“Redemptrix” - meaning “feminine Redeemer?”
Leave the term as the Latin version rather than corrupting English. Catholics may say this somehow means something much less than an “equal,” but it doesn’t follow as such.
Don’t worry, though. Protestants call all of their ministers, “Popes.” Hope there’s no confusion there.
Actually not ignorant; nor blissful.
As I read it, the text supplied by the original poster implied believers should award far more fealty to Mary than either Scripture (or Mary herself) proclaim.
and “fealty” also has a Latin root - comes from fidelis (faith)
I believe that NO human is worthy of worship. Jesus was equal parts God and human and thus is the ONLY exception.
You are welcome to believe otherwise without criticism.
I didn’t say what you accused me of saying.
If all it meant was that she had cooperated with Christ, then there would be as much justification - indeed, a lot more - to call Paul or John “Co-redeemers”!
It is silly to suggest that this title would just mean she had obeyed God in the role He gave her. If that was all, then Mr Rogers could be called ‘Co-redeemer’.
This is another attempt to elevate her to a role Jesus did NOT give her. He didn’t even call her “Mother”, let alone “Co-Redemptrix”!
In every part of His ministry, He denied her glory - or a significant role at all!
