The term "co-redemptrix" is properly translated "the woman with the redeemer" or more literally "she who buys back with [the redeemer]." The prefix "co" comes from the Latin term "cum" which means "with" and not "equal to." Co-redemptrix therefore as applied to Mary refers to her exceptional cooperation with and under her divine son Jesus Christ, in the redemption of the human family, as manifested in Christian Scripture.

Uh, Mary was NEVER manifested in scripture to be a co-redemtrix...That's an illusion by your religion

Americans know what 'co' represents, in English...AMericans know what Redeemer means, in English...

Then you guys use the term Redemtrix...Then you say co-redemtrix...But you never, ever use the term 'Cum-Redemtrix' as you claim it really is...

Coupled with the fact that so many in your religion have petitioned to have your infallible magisterium turn Mary in to the 4th person of the Trinity, I don't buy your explanation...

And then after looking at some of your Catholic prayers to Mary and even your claims that Mary participates in your salvation, I can see your definition of co-redemtrix is just a smokescreen to those of us outside your religion...

All Christians are rightly called to be co-workers or "co-redeemers" with Jesus Christ (cf. Col. 1:24) in the reception and cooperation with grace necessary for our own redemption and the redemption of others -

Not in my God's Christianity...

Fellow laborers, yes...We plant and water, yes...

But the Harvest, the Redemptions belongs to Jesus and Jesus alone...There's that alone word again...Don't you just hate that...

personal subjective redemption made possible by the historic objective redemption or "buying back" accomplished by Jesus Christ, the "New Adam," the Redemptor, and Mary, the "New Eve," the Co-redemptrix.

the New EVE??? There is no NEW EVE in the Scriptures...God didn't put any emphasis on the 'old' Eve and He certainly never mentioned a new Eve, nor does He ever allude to one...Just more attempts by your religion to elevate Mary to the position of the Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven that God warned us about in the OT...

Yes, and the point is that deconstructing it that way, in English, distorts the original meaning, rendered in Latin.

That's a filthy lie.
