“Are you saying Jesus was only obedient to Mary?”

Where do you see the word only? Of course Jesus was obedient to Joseph, as we are told in Luke 2:51 - And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart.

“Using catholic “logic”, then Mary is the mother of the Holy Spirit.”

Mary did not give birth to the Holy Spirit; she gave birth to the Son. A woman becomes a mother in the very act of giving birth to a child, and the child that Mary gave birth to is God in the person of Jesus Christ. It is only in this sense that Mary is the mother of God.

“Again, none of what the catholic purports the scriptures to say are true regarding this”.

Again, show me how the Scriptures I have cited do not show that Mary is the mother of God. Why does no one attempt to refute those specific passages?

He also humbled Himself by being obedient to Mary.

No mention of Joseph in your post. Come to think of it I can't recall when I've seen a catholic refer to Joseph.

Mary did not give birth to the Holy Spirit; she gave birth to the Son. A woman becomes a mother in the very act of giving birth to a child, and the child that Mary gave birth to is God in the person of Jesus Christ. It is only in this sense that Mary is the mother of God.

But the catholic position is that Mary is the "Mother of God." If God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are three in one then if she gives birth to one, she's given birth to all three.

Of course, there is some catholic teaching that says Mary is the spouse of the Holy Spirit!

>>“Again, none of what the catholic purports the scriptures to say are true regarding this”.<<

Again, show me how the Scriptures I have cited do not show that Mary is the mother of God. Why does no one attempt to refute those specific passages?

Because not one of the Scriptures you cited makes that claim. The burden is on the catholic to show the scripture that says, "Mary is the mother of God".
