Mary being a co-redeemer would not contradict any scripture. Surely she participated in the act of redemption by giving birth to Jesus. Obviously, she did not herself redeem any sin, but that it not the meaning of co-Redeemer. The way Catohlics use it, it means that she uniquely and greatly participated in the redemptive work of Christ as His mother.
Besides, Mary the Co-redeemer is not a dogmatic teaching of the Church. It is jsut a title some give her. It is not, for example, taught in the Catechism.

Another situation where the Catholic church doesn’t say what it claims it means but says something that needs to be explained away or clarified.
Don’t you guys ever get tired of that? Nobody believes it any more, well, I guess except other Catholics who’ve been conditioned to not think for themselves.
If they had been, they’d see the absurdity of all these claims a long time ago.

2: in or to the same degree eg coextensive
a : one that is associated in an action with another : fellow : partner eg coauthor, coworker
b : having a usually lesser share in duty or responsibility : alternate : deputy eg copilot
If the Catholic church is giving to Mary a title that says she is co-redeemer when she’s not, they are lying. They have no business making false claims about anyone.

Well, then, you don't know Scripture!
Surely she participated in the act
It was the act of the HOLY SPIRIT. She participated in the 'act' with her other children.
The way Catohlics use it, it means that she uniquely and greatly participated in the redemptive work of Christ as His mother.
What is 'unique' about OBEDIENCE and being a willing servant of God? And Mary said, Behold, I am the SERVANT of the Lord; let it be to me according to YOUR WORD. And the angel departed from her".
What Catholics should learn from Mary is OBEYING THE WORD and trash the counterfeit bible, the catechism.
Besides, Mary the Co-redeemer is not a dogmatic teaching of the Church. It is jsut a title some give her. It is not, for example, taught in the Catechism.
Just a title SOME give her? Tell me, WHO DOESN'T?
And that is not the ONLY title given to her. Queen of Heaven, Queen of Purgatory, etc. etc, - and the list is ENDLESS.
Satan wanted the status of God, so with the help of the RCC he uses deception to raise up a human to give it a co-status with The Almighty. Evil knows NO bounds.
