But does not the Vatican actually view the prefix "co-" as something much greater?

No.

The Marian dogmas are no secret, and clearly defined for those who care to know the Church's position. Equality with Christ is no part of them, and trying to find such demonstrates a morbid fascination with controversy.

St. Bonaventure is not the Catholic Church...celebrated or not.

I am under the assumption by reading the posts of Catholics that the saints and church “fathers” are incredibly important to the view of the Catholic Church. So I have begun to read some, as recommended to me.

If I begin to quote some of their writings, at what frequency will they be discounted, if their writings show any tendency to cause embarrassment to current teachings, or reveal any extremities that some would rather not be voiced? Just wondering.
