-THE SACRAMENTS:

The Sacrament of Extreme Unction
Q. What is the "Apostolic Pardon"? It forgives temporal punishment due to sins (not the sins themselves), for anything for which we have not done adequate penance in this life. It is often given after the conferral of the Sacrament of Penance, the Anointing of the Sick and Viaticum.
Q. But what if a Priest is not available for a Dying person, can they still receive an "Apostolic Pardon"? Yes or No?
A. Patrick Madrid says the pardon must be done by a priest...Here's what you should know about the Apostolic Pardon for the Dying

Is Mary as Co-Redemptrix, a dogma? Or has this terminology fallen off the radar of liturgical time?
MARY AS CO-REDEMPTRIX: here is an excellent article on the topic Mary is Co-Redemptrix from Traditional Catechism. Note: it is a contentious topic as modernist Catholics seem to have lost this important "deposit of faith" teaching.
-My opinion...Yes, I believe that Mother Mary is the Co-Redemptrix...but that the word co-redemptrix needs defining as Mary is in "co-operation" uniquely with our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. An excerpt from Catholic Answers: But the word “co,” or the prefix “co-” in English can imply equality, and so that’s why it sounds that way. The prefix “co-” comes from the Latin preposition cum, and cum does not necessarily mean “equal.” It can just mean “with,” and that’s the sense that’s in play when Mary is under discussion with respect to the Redeemer. So she’s not equal to Jesus, but she is a woman who cooperates with the Redeemer. She cooperates with God’s plan and her son’s role in it.
Another opinion from Jimmy Akins: Is Mary Co-Redemptrix? Does the Church teach Mary as Co-Redemptrix or Fr. Chris Alar's Mary: Mother of God, Co-Redemptrix, Co-Mediatrix? discusses the meaning of the prefix "co-" as meaning "equal" or "with". But the word "co-" derives from "cum" in Latin and means "with, together or supporting". Protestants like to claim that we mean "equal". There is a reason that Catholic's use Latin as the language of the Church. If you mean "with", then definitely yes...that is exactly what we mean by "Co-Redemptrix. Mary gets us to Jesus, who is the real "Redemptor". The same thing applies to "Co-Mediatrix"....☝👍😇
