Dr.E: what the Catholic doesn't realize is that saying "Mary is a co-redeemer" is offensive to me because we are both considered Christians and yet as a Christian I do not believe that in any way. In fact, that sentence repels me.

NET: I guess we all have to be a little less repelled, don't we?

I would like to meet the Protestant who is not repelled by the sentence, "Mary is the co-redeemer."

Show of hands?

LOL! As the smart kid in grammar school, who doesn’t want his classmates to hate him, I too, am sitting on my hands. That sentence is repugnant (a word from Pinky and the Brain) to anyone who knows the Gospel.

I fiercely agree with you.

No surprise there.

However, i HOPE we don’t turn THIS thread into one of THOSE threads! Sheesh.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter if we are offended by it or not. What is the support of it? Scripture doesn’t. For any Protestant, Baptist, or non-denominational person, that should be enough.

It is truly unfortunate that you would not be soooooo repelled by Mary who is also the “Mother of God”, the “Theodokos” and “Queen of Heaven and Earth” that you took it somewhere else.
