I guess you aren't aware that there are only 4 things that can be blasphemed, Natural Law.

1. God's name. (Rom. 2:24, Isa. 52:5)

2. God, Himself. (Isa. 65:7; Ezek. 20:27; Rev. 16:9-11,21; Mt. 12:31,32)

3. The doctrine of God. (I Tim. 6:1).

4. The word of God. (Titus 2:5).

Unless Mary has been made part of the Godhead, comparing her to anything is not blaspheming God.

[Natural Law]

"I guess you aren't aware."

Don't guess or presume, you are not that smart. I am fully aware of what constitutes blasphemy. You seem to thumb through your Bible for the same reason Clinton carried one, to find loop holes. At a minimum the things said about Mary in these Forums are profoundly disrespectful to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Were someone to call my mother, wife, or daughter a whore or prostitute I would be incredibly insulted, and justifiably so.

The Church teaches that the sense of the sacred is part of the virtue of religion. Everything about Jesus, including His mother, is sacred.

CCC - 2144 Respect for his name is an expression of the respect owed to the mystery of God himself and to the whole sacred reality it evokes.

Mary is part of that sacred reality. The Church further teaches:

CCC - 2162 The second commandment forbids every improper use of God's name. Blasphemy is the use of the name of God, of Jesus Christ, of the Virgin Mary, and of the saints in an offensive way.
