Brazilian Prelate Denies Marian Co-Redemption in Defiance of Catholic Tradition
EWTN portal reports on November 27, 2025, that “Archbishop” Juárez Marqués of Teresina, Brazil, declared: “We don’t need to say that Mary is co-redemptrix… Jesus needs Mary to save humanity? Mary herself is prepared, saved by God; she is a creature of God.” Marqués, speaking on local television, dismissed the title Co-Redemptrix as unnecessary, citing the conciliar sect’s document Mater Populi Fidelis, which discourages traditional Marian titles. The prelate claimed communion with “Pope” Leo XIV, insisting Christ is “our only Savior” while reducing Mary to a mere “servant” and “intercessor.” He referenced four Marian dogmas but omitted her mediatorial role in redemption.
