Vatican Advises Catholics to Stop Calling Mary 'Co-Redeemer' with Jesus

The Vatican has released a decree modifying traditional titles used by Catholics to describe Mary, the mother of Jesus. The decree clarifies that referring to Mary as 'Co-Redeemer' risks obscuring the unique salvific mediation of Christ and creating confusion in Christian faith.

Pope Francis has repeatedly expressed opposition to using titles like 'Co-Redemptrix' and 'Mediatrix of all graces' for Mary, emphasizing Christ's exclusive role as the mediator between God and humanity. The Vatican stresses that Mary's role is subordinate to Jesus in the work of redemption.
