King James has several obfuscatory verses dealing with Blessed Mary. For exampe, Luke 1:28 "keharitomene" becomes the tortured "highly favoured". In John 19:27 the eternal relationship of motherhood that Christ establishes between Mary and His disciples, "elavan auten o mathetes eis ta idia" becomes a private economic arrangement: "took her unto his own home".

I didn't say I preferred the KJV, I just think the wording of the Magnificat is very poetic; but you are correct it does make a few subtle, yet important changes. However, I think this had more to do with the translator than any attempt at doctrinal revision.
