Fernández's latest mess over the use of title 'Co-Redemptrix'
In response to journalist Diane Montagna, the Prefect of the CDF explained that the title of 'Co-Redemptrix' should no longer be used in liturgical texts or Vatican documents.

The president of the Pontifical Academy of Theology unilaterally highlights the 'dissimilarity' between Mary and Christ.
