To: Polycarp
Mary leads everyone to her Son, Jesus Christ. She is not his equal, but those who pray the rosary and ask the Blessed Virgin for intercession, are drawn closer to her Son through her. She is a powerful intercessor because she is the Mother of God; she is a powerful intercessor because of her immaculate conception she was free of sin. But she was fully human; through her free will, she chose to follow God's request. I don't see how the church can make her a co-redemptrix, because no one gets to the Father through Mary, but they do get to Jesus through Mary.

Does that make sense? Am I missing something here?

If Jesus, as part of the Trinity, is the Father and
no one gets to the Father through Mary, then no
one gets to Jesus through Mary, either.  Right?

The only thing that makes sense is that you are heading towards idolatry,
