My point is that far too much Mary veneration happens in the catholic church this co-redemptrix stuff is over the top.

Human beings are vulnerable to abusing everything they come into contact with. Because there are some groups on the fringe that have raised Mary to inappropriate levels of veneration, doesn't mean that veneration of Mary is wrong. The knee-jerk reaction of certain Protestant groups has been to throw the baby out with the bathwater regarding anything to do with Mary. I mean, if Elijah and Enoch could be assumed into heaven, certainly the Mother of Christ is no less holy than they. And I don't think anyone would deny that it's within Christ's power to preserve whomever He wants from original sin - most especially the woman from whom He would receive His flesh.
