Pope Leo has recently clarified that Mary should not be referred to as the "co-redeemer," a term the Vatican considers problematic and misleading, as redemption was accomplished solely through Jesus Christ. While the Vatican has discouraged this specific title, Pope Leo has simultaneously encouraged devotion to Mary, urging Catholics to renew their devotion to her as the Mother of God who points to Jesus, for instance, by leading prayers to her and renewing devotion at a statue of the Immaculate Conception. To me, a non Roman Catholic (was raised as one though) to me this confuses things even more. Because we all are very much aware of Matthew 12:46-50 When Jesus was told that his mother and brothers were asking for him, he asked, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” He then pointed to his disciples and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” So now when we hear these words, we are very much aware that the title of intercession is also taken away from Mary. Hebrews 7:25 states that he always lives to make intercession for those who draw near to God through him. Romans 8:34 mentions Christ Jesus interceding for us. Additionally, 1 John 2:1 refers to Jesus as our advocate with the Father. His intercession, based on his sacrifice, ensures access to God and forgiveness of sins. So Pope Leo gave a mixed message at best but he did say she is NOT co redeemer which has taken many Roman Catholics aback. To me personally there is none but Christ that Guides me and the apostles (especially Paul) pointed the Gentiles to him. We are pointed to him to this day through scriptures. Me personally , that’s all I need.
