Answer:

Before offering a theological response, I wish to emphasize that my addressing this matter is a duty the Church requests of her “qualified theologians” and is contained in the CDF’s Instruction, Donum Veritatis, On the Ecclesial Vocation of the Theologian, arts. 20 and 30.

In answer to the above question, yes one may, and is in fact encouraged to continue to read and learn from those publications containing the statements of the Roman Pontiffs, the Church’s saints and her approved prophetic literature, which include references to Mary as “Co-redemptrix.” The reason is as follows.
