The "co-" in the proposed title "co-Redemptrix" is to be understood as the Latin word cum meaning "with."

Mary is not on the cross with Jesus Christ, and Mary does not join with Christ to redeem Christ's flock.

It's infinitely sad that some Christians need reminding of this fact.

Who said otherwise? Who needs reminded?

And if it did mean “with” she would be “cum Redemptor”. not even sure what that “co-redemptrix” even is, it’s a mish mash of English and something

Mary is not on the cross with Jesus Christ,

No, she was, as scripture tells us, watching her grown Son, a man in his prime at 33, be tortured to death, from the foot of the cross. If you are not a mother, you cannot possibly know what that means. I am quite certain she would have joyfully, instantly, taken His place were such a thing possible. I am sure she wanted to die with Him. I am positive she felt every blow.

It's infinitely sad that someone who professes to be a Christian would need reminding of that fact. Those heartless, uncomprehending, cold, so-called Christians have my most fervent prayers that Christ will forgive them, and save them. Just as I am sure the soldiers were in Mary's prayers, just as Christ prayed to His Father for their forgiveness.

Cold! Heartless! And yet, loved by Christ unto their salvation...
