Fr Salvatore Perrella OSM, a famous Mariologist, told Rsi.ch on 20 November that Tucho’s note about the title Co-Redemptrix is controversial and sparks debate.
He personally dislikes the title 'Co-Redemptrix', but as a theologian he cannot ignore the fact that it also appeared in the post-conciliar magisterium.
He would never have described the title as "always inappropriate", as Tucho did. "I favour the intelligent approach of Lumen Gentium, which neither stigmatises nor uncritically adopts earlier terminology."
"Moreover, I have the impression that the note is dominated by ecumenical concerns. And this is a misstep." Such a concern should not dominate, he adds.
Furthermore, Fr Perrella calls the note "excessively long" and "contrary to the Roman Magisterium, which has always been marked by sobriety and concision".
He continues: "Although the document is broad and extensive, it lacks historical memory."
Tucho expressed himself "in an overly radical way". The note is "too monophysite" and includes unprecious pearls, Fr Perrella analyses. "I believe the document should have been better rethought and refined, and above all, it should have been based on studies carried out by competent people."
Regarding Tucho's assertion that recent popes were "concerned" about Marian titles, Perrella disagrees. "It does not seem to me that the popes were concerned about this. Their concern was the immediate reception of Lumen Gentium and of the Council."
Perrella highlights a truly pressing concern: "Today, many no longer believe in the Trinity or the Divinity of Christ."
