Yet what we can all do is turn in prayer to the Holy Spirit, asking, too, the help of Mary, Mother of the Church, that we might grow in holiness, deepen our faith, redouble our prayer, our Bible study, our love for Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, our attempts to live out in practice what we profess.

Roman Catholicism continues to advance the false teaching that they have to pray to Mary and that she is the "mother of the church".

It seems in Roman Catholicism that the Spirit is somehow insufficient in the life of the Roman Catholic.

You are ignorant.

The Church is VERY specific about the offering of respectful admiration/adoration of Mary as compared to the worship of the Triune God. They are NOT the same:

Dulia. This is the honor and recognition which we accord to the saints. Perhaps they died as martyrs rather than deny God; or they worked great miracles, since their friendship with God meant that He granted their prayers for healing or restoration; or they simply, as Therese of Lisieux, lived holiness in their own “little way.”

Hyperdulia. This is, to put it simply, lots and lots of dulia. This is the very special honor we accord to Mary, the Mother of God.

Latria. This is true worship, and is given only to God.

And since Mary is arguably the very first Christian, it is hard to argue that she is NOT "mother of the Church".
