Aside from Mary being Daughter of God the Father and Mother of God the Son, was not Our Lady also spouse, therefore bride of God the Holy Ghost? Since God is the Church, She is also bride of the Church - Which is why he who does not have Holy Mother (the Church) for his mother cannot have God for his father.

Why Jesus Himself should bow down to her than if she is as you say? It will soon be postulated that Mary is a Co-Redeemer or maybe even full Redeemer as time goes on. Mary is but a woman, blessed by God to fulfil His divine purpose. She is an example, as are many others in the Bible, of obedience and humility. Unfortunately her name has been used to usurp the proper Glory due Christ.
