Mary = Co-Redeemer or Co-Redemptrix

[kyrie100]

I think you should be aware that althou the word Co-Redemptrix may be used in the Church, Catholics don’t interpret the word in the same way that protestants do.

Non-catholic Christians get all freaked out over the title because they interpret the title differently than Catholics.

I know…that’s why I’m trying to explain the interpretation of the word the way Catholics would interpret it. One should always see things in context…

Wait…it’s not her official title? I thought it was. Della…source source.

Here is more information about the efforts to have this title bestowed on Mary: bing.com/search?q=vatican+commission+co-redemptrix&src=IE-SearchBox&FORM=IE8SRC–you will want to notice the dates of these commissions/arguments for/against. I cannot give you a source for the Church’s declaration of the title because none exists. Mary has never been declared Co-redemptrix by any commission, bishop or pope. It’s merely a popular title that people may use for private devotion, but it’s not an official Marian title.

Mary’s official titles are derived from/seen in the Divine Praises–a prayer recited during Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.

Also, Mary is called by her approved apparition titles, such as Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of Guadalupe or by her virtues, such as Our Lady of Mercy or Our Lady of Perpetual Help. I hope that helps fill in some of the gaps for you.
