Doctrinal Note on Marian titles: Mother of the faithful, not Co-redemptrix - Vatican News

The document of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, approved by Pope Leo XIV, offers clarifications on titles applied to the Blessed Virgin ...

The concept of Mary as "co-redemptrix" is a theological idea that has been debated for decades, but a recent Vatican document, approved by Pope Leo, states that it is not appropriate to use this title to define her role.

While acknowledging Mary's unique cooperation in Christ's redemptive work through her fiat at the Annunciation and her spiritual suffering at the foot of the cross, the document clarifies that she is subordinate to Christ, the sole Redeemer. The title "co-redemptrix" is discouraged because it can imply equality with Christ and cause confusion, potentially obscuring his central role.

Titles such as “Mother of Believers,” “Spiritual Mother,” “Mother of the Faithful” are noticed with approval in the Note.

Conversely, the title of “Co-redemptrix” is deemed inappropriate and problematic. The title of “Mediatrix” is considered unacceptable when it takes on a meaning that excludes Jesus Christ; however, it can used appropriately so long as it expresses an inclusive and participatory mediation that glorifies the power of Christ.

The titles “Mother of Grace” and “Mediatrix of All Graces” are considered acceptable when used in a very precise sense, but the document also warns of particularly broad explanations of the meaning of the terms.

John 14:6, Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
1 Timothy 2:5-6, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, . . . .

Any BB member may do so. It would be my understanding. OP was interested in fellow Baptist thoughs on it.
