I believe in the trinity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Yeah? What does that mean? Does that mean that you believe in the Apostles' Creed - as intended by the authors and not how you interpret it? Does that mean that you believe in the Nicene-Constantinople Creed - as intended by the authors and not how you interpret it? Does that mean that you believe in the Athenasian Creed - as intended by the authors and not how you interpret it? If you can affirm this, then we have accord. If not, then I will simply dismiss yet another religion of men that has arisen through the pride and hubris of men.

That said, Mary was nothing more than a human vessel for delivery of God the Son also known as Jesus.

Veneration of Mary is not required for salvation. Contempt for Mary may result in consequences at your Judgement.

Catholics put her on par with Jesus which is an incredible insult to Him.

I am a Catholic and I have never put her on a par with Him. I do not personally know of any Catholic who does. To me, this is a damnable straw man that is simply an anti Catholic cudgel and of no truth whatsoever.

To say the she could intercede on our behalf is a disgrace to Jesus’s ultimate sacrifice.

Don't be an idiot. You can intercede on my behalf simply by praying for me. And vice versa.

But hey, keep up with your hail Marys if it makes you feel better.

It's not about my feelings. It is about Jesus Christ, Lord God Almighty, not a bunch of pansy poofs with their knickers in a twist because nobody will recognize them as Christian.

Then you are blind to the acts of your own faith.
