Instead of attacking the author of the article, can someone try to defend the following statements made by popes:

Pope Benedict XV said of Mary that “[O]ne can justly say that with Christ, she herself redeemed mankind.” [10] Pope Pius IX said, “Our salvation is based upon the holy Virgin... so that if there is any hope and spiritual healing for us we receive it solely and uniquely from her.” [11]

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.”

Mary said this, Christ was conceived through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Christ would go on to redeem mankind. It is because she said this, and obeyed, that Christ was born and brought into this world, to suffer and die on the cross.

Can you explain why the footnotes that this "former nun" provides link not to the actual Papal documents but to a book written by Donald G. Bloesch?

After all she claimed:

Therefore my primary sources about Catholic doctrines and history come from the Catholic Church.

Can you explain this contradiction?
