Catholics know as well as anybody else that no creature can be God, because no creature is uncreated, eternal, and infinite. Catholics would have to be LITERAL low-grade morons to make an intellectual blunder like that.
The next time you repeat the preposterous, anti-Catholic slur that “Catholics make Mary into God,” how about reflecting whether you really want to invite people to laugh at you.
And don't forget perfect. No creature is perfect. The only perfect one is the Creator.

They don’t make her into a god, just a demi-goddess.
By implying that Mary has a role in salvation by calling her a Co-Redemptrix, people are ascribing to her divine powers. The same goes for saying she was without sin (in opposition to Scripture).
It is possible to honor and respect the role Mary had as the mother of Jesus, without ascribing to her aspects of divinity that are reserved for God alone.
