Doctrinal Note on Marian titles: Mother of the faithful, not Co-redemptrix - Vatican News

But mainly, the co-redemptrix title was being used uncharitably – people used it for prottie-baiting (by the sort of people who use the phrase “prottie-baiting”) as well as to annoy other Catholics they considered insufficiently devout. Pope Benedict XVI said it confused people unnecessarily, so don’t do that. Sounds reasonable to me.
