Found this on FB:
Jesus alone redeemed the world!
Pope Leo XIV formally rejects the idea of Mary as “co-redeemer,” emphasizing that salvation comes solely through Christ’s death and resurrection.

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.
