Ignore the link you posted, it’s not sound Catholic Doctrine.
Mary as Co-redemptrix merely means that Mary cooperated with God’s will in bringing redemption to the world through Jesus Christ.
It does not make Mary equal to Jesus as savior of the world, not a goddess to be worshiped.

From Wikipedia which is more accurate than the site you linked (which is saying **a lot ** about how accurate the site you linked is)- “Co-Redemptrix is both a title used by some Roman Catholics of Mary, the mother of Jesus and a theological concept, which refers to Mary’s role in the redemption of man. It has always been controversial and has never formed part of the dogma of the Church. The term “Co-redemptrix” refers to a subordinate but essential participation by the Blessed Virgin Mary in redemption, notably that she gave free consent to give life to the Redeemer, to share his life, to suffer with him under the cross, to offer his sacrifice to God the Father for the sake of the redemption of mankind. Related to this belief is the concept of Mediatrix which is a separate concept but regularly included by faithful who use the title of co-redemptrix.”

“co” is Latin form of “cum” which means “with”. It does not mean “equal to.”

Mary is the co-redemptrix in the same sense that you and I and people of good will are co-redeemers. If we follow Jesus… we help support His mission.No, she is the Co-Redemptrix (feminine
In my humble opinion, using this title seems to wrongly imply that cooperating in God’s plan is a unique privilege for Mary… instead of adding value and drawing people in, it causes confusion. I don’t use the title and recommend to others not to use it.

Mary is co-redemptrix more like a co-pilot is to the pilot than a co-star is to another co-star. It’s a subordinate position. Besides, it is not an “official” Marian title, although it is a traditional (and theologically sound) one. IOW, you don’t have to use it.
