I never accused you of blasphemy.

I inferred that the statements without qualifications ascribe to Mary that which pertains to Christ, hence it flirts with blasphemy.

I hope you understand that when you enter the discussion with "Help me see how this isn't blasphemous," you've already raised a few hackles.

I can certainly accept the idea that among those who have rejected Holy Tradition, there is much within Holy Tradition to misinterpret. This does not, however, invalidate Holy Tradition anymore than does those who find support for same-sex marriage within Holy Scripture to invalidate Holy Scripture (going for an extremem case to make the point).

Hopefully, I can one day persuade you to accept that as well.
