Mary being a co-redeemer would not contradict any scripture

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.

She did not have any other children. "Brothers" of Christ are indeed mentioned, but, curious thing, every time a "brother" of Jesus is mentioned by name, his mother also is mentioned and she is not Mary.

What is 'unique' about OBEDIENCE

Obedience is of course not unique (but worthy of veneration just the same). Giving birth to God is unique. That is why Mary is unique.

WHO DOESN'T?

I don't, for one. I agree that the title sounds provocative at least in English.

that is not the ONLY title given

Anything wrong with that? We love her. We love who Jesus loved.
