“No disrespect, but...”
When ever i hear someone like you say “No disrespect, but...”
I know the very next words are going to be disrespectful.
You are the poster child for the bad catechesis of the typical Catholic education.
Recall the line quoting Mary where she says: “For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.” She should have said all generations except of course for Extreme Unction’s generation.
bad, bad catechesis.

Luke 11:27-28 27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28 But he said, Nay rather, (Greek Menounge: nay surely, nay rather) blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
The words spoken to Mary were no different then were spoken to Jael in Judges. In fact, Jael was called blessed above women. Mary was called blessed among women.
Luke 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Judges 5:24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be,
Those words were also spoken of Noah, Moses, and David.
