We are making no claim that she DOES the work of the Holy Spirit. In fact, the Holy Spirit works THROUGH her, just as the Spirit works through anyone else. However, Catholics believe that Mary's is the closest human heart to Jesus', for she is His mother. Since she is in Heaven, and is the Queen Mother (Jesus is King, Mary is the mother of the King, therefore, using royal terms, Mary is the Queen Mother), and the role of the Queen Mother, both on earth and in heaven is to be advocate of God's people, she is an advocate on our behalf.

It seems Mary herself is credited for the work of the Holy Spirit through her (as you state). No such exalted terms are given to "anyone else" who the Spirit works through. These descriptions elevate her to deity. That should cause alarm.

You say...

***in heaven is to be advocate of God's people, she is an advocate on our behalf. ***

Here Mary is credited for what the Bible says is Jesus' role and ministry on our behalf.

1 Jn. 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
