Obviously you either do not bother to read or don't understand what you read or you wouldn't even be able to think that anyone is claiming that Mary was the source of Jesus's divine nature.

By using the term" "Mother of God" for Mary, a created being, the RCC gives the false impression that Mary preceded Christ which is insanity because the Triune God has no beginning and no ending.

"Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?" -- 1 Corinthians 1:13

The RCC would make it appear that Mary suffered and died for us by calling her a "mediator" which is a singular office held by Christ alone.

That Rome has now taken this blasphemy and made it even more intolerable by calling Mary a "co-redeemer" simply reveals the depth of depravity to which this church has sunk.

this is exactly what the Catholic Church teaches (though I'm not Catholic):

Well, now, you could have fooled me.

Were you ever Roman Catholic? What church do you belong to?

This "giving of a false impression" is a product of your mind and your lack of familiarity with Catholic doctrine exacerbated by a certain philosophical obtuseness. Anyone with just the slightest bit of operational reason would know that someone who is the mother of God in time cannot be the origin of God's being before time or the world existed. Elizabeth called Mary the mother of her Lord--as a Jewish woman, the wife of a Jewish priest, both of whom were righteous in God's sight and who observed all the Lord's commands and decrees blamelessly, her Lord was the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the creator of heaven and earth. She had no problem with her cousin Mary being the mother of her Lord. That's good enough for me.

I don't think Mary is a mediator. Jesus is the only mediator between God and man and the Holy Spirit in the believer's heart is the one who intercedes for him according to God's will. I don't think Mary is a co-redeemer. It's what Jesus did alone that is the basis for human redemption. I think both of those concepts, as I have heard them described, are just nuts.

That is a total misinterpretation of what the Church actually teaches. The "false impression" is entirely yours. I've never met a Catholic who holds this false impression, not a single one, nor heard of any Catholic priest or theologian who holds to this egregious error, that Mary pre-existed the Trinity.

The actual teaching about Mary, the Incarnation, Christ's Person, His two natures, and how these all relate together has been posted here literally thousands of times, in hundreds of posts over the last ten years or so, and yet we still hear these ridiculous assertions. The actual teaching has been posted scores of times over the past couple of day, ON THIS THREAD, yet we still have the over-the-top accusations coming out of thin air.

These kind of posts are either made out of ignorance, or designed simply to instigate more "fights", imo.
