“Yet when asked, in a 2000 interview by Peter Seewald contained in the book God and the World, whether the Church would go along with the desire to solemnly define Mary as Co-redemptrix, Ratzinger’s response doesn’t look good. He says that the title Co-redemptrix “departs to too great an extent from the language of Scripture and of the Fathers and therefore gives rise to misunderstandings” (53). He also says that “for matters of faith, continuity of terminology with the language of Scripture and that of the Fathers is itself an essential element; it is improper simply to manipulate language” (54). “
So everyone here who is troubled with this title, no need to be. Our Pope is not going for it. Take heart
Are you certain my child?
The doctrine of the bodily assumption is now extensively believed, and it is this doctrine which Pope Pius XI may promulgate in definite terms.

>>Are you certain my child?<<
You are so sweet, thank you!
Yes, I truly believe that I will not see this come to pass.
And so I won’t worry about what has not yet happened.
Every day, a thought crosses my mind that death will come to one of my children while I am alive. I push the thought away, trusting in the Will of Our Lord. Could it happen? Anything could happen. But Our Lord will never hand me what I cannot handle.
I’ll worry about what has already happened and let Our Lord deal with the rest.
