-Caveat Lector-
Kelly, what you say may be true from a strict theological standpoint, but
let me assure you that the average person-in-the-street will view it
differently. Mariolatry comes perilously close to heresy as it is; adding
the doctrine of Mary as CoRedemptrix only makes it easier for people to
consider her to be actually divine. And please pay close attention to the
things that have been posted on the list about the creation of a New Age
religion centered on Diana...something is definitely evolving in that
direction, with some highly sophisticated psyops encouraging it.
Developments concerning Mary only feed that tendency.
