John Paul II and Usages of Co-redemptrix
John Paul II’s official and repeated use of the title, ~Co-redemptrix~, quickly remedied the silence of the Second Vatican Council. Within his first years as the Pope, he invoked the Immaculate Mother as ~Co-redemptrix~ on repeated occasions and made whole again the relationship between the doctrine and the title. The title is legitimate, and the Holy Father expressed his conviction about this.
On September 8, 1982, Feast of the Birth of Mary, within the context
of a papal address to the sick , who so much needed to know the power of
co-redemptive suffering, John Paul called Mary the ~Co-redemptrix of
humanity~ for the first time: Mary, though conceived and born without
the taint of sin, participated in a complete way in the sufferings of
her divine Son, in order to be~ Co-redemptrix of humanity.~
Now dosn`t that make her equal to Her Son, Our Lord?
