This co-redemptrix idea, however, goes way beyond the IM and raises her to the level of a goddess.

Not at all. See the Catechism I just posted. The co-redemptrix simply means that Mary participates in the redemptive work of Christ in her unique way. Equality with Christ is a Protestant calumny put in our mouth for lack of a serious argument.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Mary participates in the redemptive work of Christ in her unique way

Scripture, please, for that heresy?

"Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;

(For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth." -- Deuteronomy 6:14-15

I agree with annalex. The Catholic Church does not teach that she is a 'goddess.' That is a gross mischaracterization. Rather, as annlex says, in essence the Catholic doctrine of co-redemptrix is similar to what Kolo posted regarding Mary's unique role that made our savlation possible through Christ. If anything can be misconstrued it would be, agaian as annalex pointed out, our prayers that she 'save' us.
