Cardinal Müller Defends Use of ‘Co-Redemptrix’ Title for Mary
Cardinal Gerhard Müller defended the title ‘Co-Redemptrix’ for the Blessed Virgin Mary, stating it accurately reflects her role in salvation. Speaking at a Rome conference, he argued that while Christ is the sole Redeemer and Mediator, Mary’s cooperation was essential to God’s plan of redemption. He rejected concerns about Protestant objections, emphasizing that the title should be understood analogically. Müller’s remarks come after the Vatican issued a document last year stating the term is ‘inopportune’ in official Church language. More: Edward Pentin
