[John Leland 1789]

Thank you for that post.

Has someone re-defined the prefix “co-”? Co-Redeeemer would mean equality to the Lord Jesus Christ. Isn’t that still the standard definition re. the prefix?

Co-Redeemer would mean Mary is EQUAL to Christ, Who is equal to the Father and the Holy Spirit. That would mean, not a “Trinity,” but a Quartet.

No, it hasn't been re-defined. It never did denote equality: only some form of union.

Co-Redeemer does not mean equal to Christ. It is like The Wedding at Cana. Mother Mary supported Jesus, she asked Jesus to perform his first miracle, and she asked the people to obey him. Jesus is God, and Mary is a human woman without original sin. She is the New Eve. They are very different individuals, but they work together. Jesus is perfect like God and Mary is very special. Still they both serve a role in God's kingdom.

This isn't the Cathechism, but it's my best Catholic explanation of how we perceive Mary.

It means "with," not "equal to."
