You sound EXACTLY like a CERTAIN SERPENT in a garden.
Go back and read your questions and my answers. You asked if the church taught Mary was “God or even a god.”
With the title “coredemtrix” you have made her equal to The Savior Jesus. You have placed crowns and garlands on her graven image. You kneel before her graven image and request her favors which include...
A “hotline” to Jesus (we got a direct line when the curtain hiding the “Holy of Holies” was torn from top to bottom!)
Special protections for “praying to her”
Parole from Purgatory (if she can get you released from purgatory why is it necessary? Can she “Remove your Sins?”) - “Should one require Purgatorial cleansing after death, Our Lady will make a special effort to obtain our release from Purgatory through Her intercession as Advocate.”
All those who propagate the holy rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.
There's more but I just went with the most interesting...

No thank you, Narses. I don't want your goddess. I have a Savior and Redeemer. He does not require a “coredemtrix” even if the pagan goddess worship is given fancy new titles and good PR from Rome.
Jesus is sufficient.
From the Catechism of the Catholic church....

969 “This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation .... Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix.”510
Names of God from the Bible. Compare them to the names given to Mary in the above prayer.
Jesus
Hope (our) - 1 Timothy 1:1
Counselor - Isaiah 9:6
Advocate - 1 John 2:1
Mediator - 1 Timothy 2:5, Hebrews 9:15, Hebrews 12:24
Holy Spirit
Comforter - John 14:26
Helper – John 14:16
This is worship of Mary if ever there was.....Attributing to her the attributes of God is idolatry.
So you cannot answer “yes” you just spew examples that you know - if you actually were Catholic and taught as a Catholic is taught - are NOT examples of Godhood. Right?

Seems a bit over the line, no?
