Just because a person is a saint doesn't mean the Church accepts their writings 100%

I believe you. But the sheer volume of similar quotes is kind of hard to overlook.

I believe the above site is run by a Traditionalist Catholic.

Thank you for the quotes, they are very inspiring.

Saints rarely, if ever, wrote anything with the purpose to lead the Baptist out of their state of confusion. Their intended audience was Catholic/Orthodox. Now, for 2000 years Catholics correctly understood Mary's role in redemption as a Mother of God and not God. Nothing in these quotes says otherwise. In fact, it is perfectly legitimate to substitute "The Church" for "Mary" and observe your confusion, if sincerely held, dissolve.
