This is not a command for us to call her blessed. She was stating a fact that yes we do call her blessed, I call Paul blessed also, wouldn't you, I call myself blessed, because Jesus died for my sins as he did Mary's. Do you consider yourself blessed? If not, I am sorry:)
As for the part about praying TO Mary, you should know by now I don't even dignify such idiocy with a response.
Actually I take this as a "there is no verse, it's an oral tradition." Not such an idiot after all am I.

Rosary - A string of beads containing five sets with ten small beads. Each set of ten is separated by another bead. It also contains a crucifix. It is used in saying special prayers, usually to Mary where the rosary is used to count the prayers.

Becky, he thinks that is a command to call her "blessed"!!!!! As for the other, he doesn't have a response because there isn't one. I'm surprised he doesn't say we are supposed to pray to Mary because she said "From now on, all ages WILL CALL ME [pray to me and call me] blessed."
I've gotta' take a break for a while. You take over for me, OK?
