There is a severe misunderstanding of the word "cooperate" going on here. Show me the dictionary that says the definition of "cooperate" is "another way of saying 'saves the fallen sinner'".

Cooperate, to participate in, to bring about in tandem, to work together...

Doesn't it ever occur to Catholics that when they are forced to appeal to the dictionary for every word they use in order to be understood, and yet still their sentences turn the glory of God away from Him and toward the creature, that there is something seriously wrong with their exegesis?

From the RCC catechism...

1172 She (Mary) is inseparably linked with the saving work of her Son.

Blasphemy.

Mary most certainly is separate from Christ's saving work on the cross. Mary does not "cooperate" in men's salvation. Mary has nothing to do with men's salvation. Mary does not share the work of redeeming His flock with Jesus. Mary is not on the cross with Jesus. Mary was a fallen sinner who needed saving exactly as you and I in exactly the same way.

More deflection from the RC catechism...

494 Being obedient she (Mary) became the cause of salvation for herself and for the whole human race.

And now the RCC will tell us "cause" does not really mean to "personally bring about" or "to be responsible for" or "to effectuate," because if the RCC admitted what words really mean, their blasphemy would be staring them in the face.

Read your Bible.

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." -- Acts 4:12

It could only be called blasphemy by someone who thinks she did not have the free will to say 'no.' That position, of course, makes Mary a broodmare and the Holy Spirit a rapist.

THAT is the real blasphemy here.

But, but, they don’t believe the Bible is the final Word, Dr. E.

INDEED.

But but but but bbbbuuuttttt

Scripture has to be wrong—just ask the RC magisterical . . .

There’s St Mary, St Joseph, St Hotentot, St Mugwumps and a long list of others so handy to call on when folks are bored with Jesus.
