“Point it out. Give me specific passages that somehow credibly validate May is placed on the same spiritual level with Jesus and shares in His work.”(WT)

Passages from what? I can give you historical writings, but you claim not even to believe the OT or St Paul, or the Acts. I have a funny feeling, I’ll be wasting my time and typing fingers. Besides that, I never said Mary is placed on the same spiritual level with Jesus, and as a matter of (forgotten) fact, I denied that repeatedly, but you seem to keep bringing up the same phrase, regardless. That she shares in His work is beyond dispute, since had it not been for her fiat, He would not have been born Incarnate.

“It’s indication that when venerating the Mother of God, she will always lead one to her Son.
This requires conditioned preconcreption to reach.”(WT)

It takes a conditioned preconceived notion to deny it. That’s what’s recorded in the Gospel, she said, and the teaching of Christians for 2000 years. If Pope William Terrell declares it doesn’t make it true.

“Why, no, it has always been simple to con people using their desire to save their asses. Simon did it and the Catholic church does it.”(WT)

And, some people are doing it now.

“Again, I am not a Protestant. I have the same problem with some Protestant churches that I have with the Catholic church, i.e. arrogance. “(WT)

Hehe, I guess you mean knowing for sure, regardless of facts and logic, insisting on their own opinion?

You may claim to not be a protestant, but you have sure learned their methods of “arguing.”-Glenn

Scripture.

It takes a conditioned preconceived notion to interpret scripture which passages don't say what the interpretation claims, and is in conflict with other scripture.

I can't make any sense of the second sentence.

If the Catholic pope says it, or the magisterium, or any other man, including me, that doesn't make it true. However, scripture exists, and I just repeat it.
