Quote one authoritative theologian who claimed the title should be avoided. Or that it was never appropriate. The way in which the title has been used and defined for 500 years suggests it is part of the ordinary universal magisterium.  Although to deny its use is not heretical, claiming that it is never an appropriate title is proximate to heresy and borders on blasphemy.

Pohle, Van Noort, and Merkelbach for starters, with Merkelbach (page 333 of Mariologia) saying that MANY theologians were opposed to the title ... three individuals whose manuals are in wide use in Traditional seminaries.

Nice try gaslighting, buddy ... but maybe next time you should look into it before running your mouth.

As for some nonsense about "ordinary Magisterium", there's only one legitimate Catholic papal source that used the title and it was in a non-authoritative docuмent, some letter to a sodality.  There are a couple others floating around that are actually gross mistranslations.

So shut up with the gaslighting, "proximate to heresy" and "borders on blasphemy".  You can rend your garments all you want and virtue signal about how devoted you are to Our Lady, but devotion to Our Lady requires truth, and it would not be a dishonor to her to not use a theologically incorrect title.  I would not be dishonoring Our Lady by refusing her the title of, say, "Fourth Person of the Holy Trinity".

On top of that, it would help if you didn't lie about what Prevost and Tucho actually said.  They did not say that cannot be a correct meaning (identical to what the above-cited theologians stated), but in fact implied there could be one when they said that a correct understanding of the term would require significant amounts of explanation.  Tucho confirmed this later by saying that there's no prohibition against using the term privately.

We have the Council of Trent CLEARLY teaching that Our Lord alone is the Redeemer "solus Redemptor", and so in order to avoid the perception of contradicting Trent, you'd have to adequately explain the term, as many / most pre-Vatican II Catholic theollogians agreed.



Now, we can rightly be cynical of the stated motives from Prevost and Tucho, namely, to avoid confusion ... since WHEN EVER have the Conciliar Modernist Anti-Popes cared about causing confusion.  Bergoglio reveled in causing messes and chaos openly, and had no problems causing confusion with Fiducia Supplicans and Amorist Laetitia ... believing that a simple sentence indicating that sodomites are not actually married suffices to dispel the confusion.  That we can rightly suspect that they were lying, and in fact were trying to become more Prot-cuмenical.  But that's a separate issue from the actual matter at hand.

Now, one might actually suspect given that we saw greater outrage from SSPX over this matter than about, oh, actual heresies, promoting sodomite, and everything else Rome has done that's actually openly heretic ... but one might suspect that this was setup or leadin to the "consecration" matter, giving the SSPX a bone to chew on where they could exhibit to their followers what staunch anti-Modernists they are.

Unfortunately, because they were just emoting, the Popesplainers had a field day with the SSPX outrage, discrediting their opposition and accusing them of bad will, for opposing Prevost and Tucho on a matter that many approved and respected pre-Vatican II theologians also agreed with them about.

Merkelbach (Mariologia 333):  "Terminum minus probandum dixerunt plures, quorum et nos fuimus ', quia secundum etymologiam videtur aequivocus. At significatio terminorum maxime pendet ab usu."

MANY held that the term should not at all be approved, and we were among them, since according to its etymology it seems equivocal.  But the meaning of terms depends entirely on how they're used.

Merkelbach warmed to the idea, but he admitted that the term, the expression, was ambiguous or equivocal and could certainly have an incorrect meaning, but he warmed to the idea later providing that it be given proper explanation (as he went on in the text), saying that the issue is largely one of semantics, but in "many languages", the term inherently does imply a subordinate causality, yet in others it could be properly explained.

But even there he's conceding the point that it can be problematic and could cause confusion.

Pohle and Van Noort continued to oppose the term.

And Prevost and Tucho werre merely echoing these sentiments, that it required much explanation to avoid incorrect meanings (Merkelbach spent a couple pages giving said explanation).  They have doen MUCH WORSE than this, especially in their pertinacious and conssitent denial of the dogma that there's no salvation outside the Church.  THAT is by far their chief heresy, but the one which nearly all Trads overlook, since they're obsessed with contempt for Father Feeney, and practically foam at the mouth at the mere mention of his name.

Fr. Joseph Pohle, A Dogmatic Treatise On The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother Of God, Imprimatur, 1919: “… it would be wrong to call her [Mary] redemptrix, because this title obscures the important truth that she herself was redeemed through the merits of Jesus Christ by what theologians technically term preredemption.  Even the title coredemptrix had better be avoided as misleading.  The titles redemptrix and coredemptrix were never applied to the Blessed Virgin before the sixteenth century; they are the invention of comparatively recent writers…”

"The title co-Redemptrix is frequently applied by some in the same sense; nevertheless, it is best to keep away from this term ... because ecclesiastical practice makes no use of it ..."

Van Noort, Tractatus De Deo Redemptore, 1910

Van Noort was a liberal, for sure, but his work received imprimatur duing the reign of Pope St. Pius X.

We got Fatima fatigue a few years after becoming traditional Catholics. It seemed like a trad "Trust the plan" where we blame all our troubles on the Pope who wouldn't do what Sister Lucia said he should do. It seemed very passive and feminine that this was the solution, as it involves us doing nothing more than wait for this to happen. Anyone who knows St Nicolas du Chardonnet in Paris, will recognise the type.

For new converts is a tall order to take in,and you need to really want to faith in order to avoid the Fatima mystics that hang around. 

20 years down the line, I still don't like the Fatima statue and when I quizzed a priest on if the eucharist is valid in both forms, then why would the angel give the communion in one form to Sister Lucia and in another form to the two others. He was kind enough to say that we would look into it but admitted that the question hadn't crossed his mind. 

So when I discovered Co-redemptrix, I associated this with all this new agey Gaia stuff associated with Fatima and just ignored it. I wasn't able to get upset like other parishioners were.

There are far more important things to worry about in Rome.
