MARY'S ROLE IN THE REDEMPTION EXPLAINED
Note: This is a very complicated and controversial topic, with much debate on matters of theology and terminology, particularly the term "Coredemptrix". This Marian title is widely misunderstood (contrary to a recent Newsweek article, it does not make Mary equal to Jesus or a member of the Godhead!)
The following articles reflect the various sides of this controversy. While reading them, please bear in mind that Mother Church has not yet officially declared that Mary is the "Coredemptrix"; these articles primarily aim at defining terms and explaining/clarifying the discussion.
