When it rains the driveway gets wet.
The driveway is wet so it must have rained.
Did you look at the road and the other driveways before coming to that conclusion?
Pope Benedict's words are not objectively heretical, unless you want to condemn every Saint and Pope listed in this article as a heretic also...
Stevus, really you need to pay much better attention to the issues. You didn't even read the article you posted, did you? How many
Saints does it list?
POPE Leo XIII calls her Co-Redemptrix, which does not contradict the decree of Trent, which states that Jesus Christ ALONE is our redeemer (
as I have relayed in my blog).
POPE Pius X states that she merits for us
de congruo (merit gratuitously given) what Christ HAD ALREADY merited
de condigno (merit owed in strict justice for the work done). This is exactly what I say.
The remaining 'popes' I don't even care what they said, because as you know I have written them off as antipopes, WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO BoD. Even if I believed in the BoD heresy, I would still reject Benedict XV as a heretic.
LoT, the prefix "co" also means "subordinate". The Blessed Virgin was subordinate to Christ in his work of redemption, and played a completely different role.
She redeemed the world with Christ
I'm afraid that your explanation is heretical and contrary to the following decree:
...Jesus Christ our Lord, who alone is our Redeemer...
To say that Mary is our redeemer in any way is heretical, even if it is with and subordinated to Christ. It is not heretical to say that she merits (
de congruo) grace and salvation for us, nor is it heretical to say that she was co-Redemptrix, provided we do not believe this means she performed the same task, but that she was subordinate to God in His task, while playing an altogether different role.
She was a co-worker with a different job.
