When therefore we read in the writings of Saint Bernard, Saint Bernardine, Saint Bonaventure, and others that all in heaven and on earth, even God himself, is subject to the Blessed Virgin, they mean that the authority which God was pleased to give her is so great that she seems to have the same power as God. Her prayers and requests are so powerful with him that he accepts them as commands in the sense that he never resists his dear mother’s prayer because it is always humble and conformed to his will.... St. Louis de Montfort, in Treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin, #27, 246.

The official *crickets* quote is posted.

And the wailing and gnashing suddenly stop, to be replaced with a stunned group "uhhhhhhh..."

With your tendency to see polytheism everywhere, I’d recommend you stay away from de Montfort and stay close to the Nicene Creed, but it’s likely the Church of Holy CB doesn’t believe the creed of orthodox Christianity.

Believing oneself is the Church makes any interpretation of Mariology pale in comparison. Perhaps you can sell your neighbors on your holiness, but not here.
