They may be used of her in an unofficial capacity, but again, like the actual Marian dogmas of the Church, they are Christological in nature; that is, they aim to define more clearly who and what Jesus is instead of trying to define who and what Mary is. The titles refer to her freely given consent to be the Mother of Jesus, the Redeemer and Savior of all humanity and of all the cosmos. If she would have said \u201cno,\u201d we would not have had Jesus. That is a historical fact. Since she said yes, she is part of salvation history. She cannot save us, she does not save us \u2013 she is not the Savior, plain and simple. But by merit of her <em>yes<\/em>, she plays a role in salvation history. That is all those words connote.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In all of the passages above, every reference to Mary ultimately is a reference to Jesus. \u201cTo Jesus through Mary\u201d is a popular Catholic saying that teaches that Mary will always point us in the direction of her Son, and will always lead us, with motherly care, to worship and adore her Son. <i>The Catholic view of Co-Redemptrix does not imply that Mary participates as equal part in the redemption of the human race, since Christ is the only redeemer Mary herself needed redemption and was redeemed by Jesus Christ her son. Being redeemed by Christ, implies that she cannot be his equal part in the redemption process. (Quoted from Wikipedia)<\/i><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">One final note: In a document that spans 2,865 sections [talking about the Catechism here], less then 1% of them are related to Mary \u2013 yes, she is important to the Christian Church, but we always keep the Blessed Trinity (and Jesus\u2019 Paschal Mystery) central to the mystery of our salvation.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The original document ended here, so I\u2019ll leave it here as well.
