Had a discussion with someone about Mary supposedly being co-redemptrix yesterday so I thought I’d post my thoughts on here too:

You cannot hold this position without saying that although the Apostles merely played a role in distributing the graces of redemption, in helping the work of redemption flourish, and so forth, had nothing to do with the act itself. This also goes for the Apostolic Fathers and Church Fathers in general. Whilst they did not have anything to do with the formal, specific act of redemption itself like Mary, they helped in that sense, and Mary in the sense that she played a crucial role in the mission of redemption and the events leading up to the redemption. In order to be consistent you have to put Mary in the left column before Christ or being in Union with Christ in the act itself, or put her on the right with the Apostles and Fathers.

The Mother of God played a stronger role than the Apostles, of course. I do not deny that. However, she is not to be put on the left side with Christ or instead of Christ. Since Christ alone is the redeemer. The Council of Trent and the Council of Florence are very clear on this. Hence why the title of Mary being the New Eve is actually sufficient, unlike co-redemptrix since it’s a giant loophole in which you have to either: A, address these things, or B, keep arguing in circles and ignoring them.

You can’t can’t give her—not the apostles— that title and ignore the fact that she had nothing to do with the act of redemption itself. The title would cease to be necessary or accurate in any sense, it’s self-contradictory. You can’t argue it without ignoring this. So it just ends up becoming loopy and circular. Redeemer is a word which is synonymous with saviour, Mary had nothing to do with the actual act of Christ redeeming the entire human species. And this title implies that she did help with that, when in reality she only played a crucial role in the events prior; the mission. Not in the ACT. You can’t give her this title and say she didn’t help act in union with Christ to redeem, the title would cease to be itself, so would Mary. She was a helper, as were the apostles. Not a co-‘redeemer.’

It’s exactly like how Eve played a crucial role in the events leading up to the fall, but had nothing to do with the actual act of Adam bringing physical death, suffering, concupiscence, and the absence of sanctifying Grace in infants into the world. Hence the need for Infant Baptism. Romans 5:12 states very clearly that it was directly because of Adam that sin entered into the world, not Eve.

Once the co-redemptrix position is actually explained it makes sense and I agree with it. Basically leads to them saying she wasn’t a co-redeemer lmao, just the New Eve. St. Alphonsus does this perfectly. It’s simply just a false, unnecessary title given to the Blessed Virgin. You can’t say you believe co-redemptrix then say she wasn’t a co-redeemer 😂😂.

This mediæval Christmas carol, like so many Advent devotions, is eminently appropriate to the feast of the Annunciation.

The most important wealth you have is your soul.

After that, your land and your family.

Thirdly, your nation and people.

Money is the primary wealth of those who do not know the first three.

Pope Pius XII put the writings of Sr. Faustina on the Index Liborum Prohibitorum [Index of Forbidden Books]. That meant that he consider the writings to be particularly dangerous insofar as they would lead Catholics astray.

Next came the prohibitions of Pope John XXIII. Twice in his pontificate, the Holy Office issued condemnations of the Divine Mercy writings. The Divine Mercy devotion is a false devotion. Stop praying it and reading her writings.

The average man is able to abstain a heavy amount of temptation, and even get to the point to where they are never tempted at all. Unfortunately in today's society, Lust is encouraged as a need or a good, you must have it, or else you are 'lost'. This is untrue and it's nothing but a bitter lie.

Relationships are not built off of Lust or the longing of a body in a perverted demeanor. Pure love is innocence, consisted with purity and loyalty. A hug or a kiss is a warm embrace that is meant to be cherished. Lust is the perversion of love, for it seeks to penetrate it's true barrier for something more daunting. A hug or a kiss cannot sustain someone afflicted with Lust, for they need to carry it out in more dangerous and perverted manners in order to become satisfied. It's (lust) is the self-gratification of the body and never the lover. Pornography worsens this by weaponizing on Lust; to the point the afflicted fall into sin.

Lust is the abomination, and God is the cure. Seek him, and not the temptations.
