It was THROUGH Mary that Jesus came into the world. It was by her active part that Jesus came to redeem us. This is all the Church is saying. The Church has never said that Mary is equal to Jesus, only that she was was an active participant in bringing redemption to human beings who were stained by Original Sin.

Every time you call Mary CO-whatever, you are putting her equal with Jesus...If you don't want her to be equal to Jesus, call her something else...

Obviously 'CO' is not the American translation of the latin word 'cum' since you guys say the American translation is 'with'...

We know what CO means in English and it doesn't mean 'with'...

The Church teaches that Mary was conceived without sin, so that she would be the perfect vessel for God's Son.

That's fine for your religion but the scriptures teach something completely different...You know what that means???

God did not want a perfect, sinless vessel for His Son...God wanted Jesus to endure temptation, not be immune to it...

You just don't get to have the power to decide other people's intentions.

Of course it does, and that is how the Church uses it to describe Mary, as an active participant WITH God, in His Redemption of man through the birth, death and Resurrection of Jesus. It's nothing more complicated than that.
