"Calling Mary Co-redemptix(sp) puts her equal to Jesus. Another error. She birthed and raised Jesus, that should be honor enough. The term "co-" does not imply equality. It means "with". " Exactly. Co- as in co-pilot. I posted a dictionary entry some time ago on this very subject. It appears to have been forgotten. Merriam Webster's Dictionary of Law: a : associated in an action with another : fellow b : having a usually lesser share in duty or responsibility : alternate : deputy Auxiliary, lesser, with but subordinate to. Co redemptrix. It fits logically and Scripturally.

[Mark to Joe:] Exactly. Co- [redemptrix] as in co-pilot. I posted a dictionary entry some time ago on this very subject. It appears to have been forgotten. Merriam Webster's Dictionary of Law: a : associated in an action with another : fellow b : having a usually lesser share in duty or responsibility : alternate : deputy Auxiliary, lesser, with but subordinate to. Co redemptrix. It fits logically and Scripturally. What exactly is Mary's "association" with, or "lesser duty or responsibility" towards my personal salvation? Though I have never prayed to her once in my entire life, does Mary know all about me, my sins, and my relationship with God? Finally, how does Mary as co-redemptrix "fit" scripturally? I'm sorry that I missed your earlier explanation. The only one that I can (sort of) remember from anyone is something like that since Mary suffered it makes perfect sense that she is the co-redemptrix. Obviously, the Bible makes no such assertion.
