Still trying to force the Vatican Ashteroth-Mary-Goddess cult's rules & sensibilities on everyone else! LOL
However, I have saved your preposterous claim to a Word file for future laughs.

It’s saddening to watch so many deny they worship Mary while it’s obvious they do. A statement like “even God himself, is subject to the Blessed Virgin” should send anyone with any sense whatsoever fleeing from that cult.
Should. But doesn't.
The only reaction it provokes is defense of the whole mess.
Dear God, what a Satanic quote. Do RCs really believe this?
Read your Bibles. The truth is there.
At least the guy who wrote it, and then apparently those who published it with their approval. I’d guess some more, based on the reactions of defense to this sort of thing I see from Catholics on this board.
By the Holy Spirit, I presume you mean the wise counselor whom Jesus promised would guide His Church in all truth. If so, then He is either a fool and a liar, or He does not exist, because in matters as profound as baptism and as trivial as Harry Potter, He has guided thousands of different sects to hold, and to dispute quite uncharitably, many differing opinions.
The third possibility, that you are wrong and the Church is right about what the Holy Spirit teaches, is most probably the correct one.
Defending the indefensible in black and white. And they believe they are the Church established by Christ to bring in His Kingdom..
You have got to be kidding. Jesus is the enmity? You post a diatribe that starts with that nonsense and you expect anyone to read the rest? What absolute and utter nonsense.
That was the most ridiculous attempt at reading something into scripture I believe I have ever seen.
If it's not painfully obvious that is EXACTLY what Jesus was getting at.....
But you see this is the evil heart of the Protestant heresy: to bring accusation against the gentle and mild by turning the Scripture into a book of law....giving their inferences from the text the same weight as "thus sayeth the Lord" without any Scriptural licence to do so, and thus taking the name in vain.
Nooooooooo.
That's the problem of presuming to speak for God by leaning to your own understanding with regard to the right role and usage of Scripture in the life of the Christian.
Because "Robert Tilton" text face is so clever?
Yes, I know. Though it has been thouroughly explained to you many times in the past, it would appear you simply can not seriously entertain the idea your fundamental approach to heurmanutics is in error, and so will not retain the particulars that prove it.
Simply stated, unless you can show a specific prophesy of the Old Testament addressed to Simeon, informing him that he would not see death until his eyes beheld the Messiah, then your entire formula for making our modern Bible synonymous with the "word of God" spoken of in the Scriptures, and all the doctrines of man that spring from it, is proven to be a lie.
Really?
Where does the Scripture explain that to us
I never cease to be amazed by the rank hypocrisy of "Proddies" who give their "nuanced" understanding of "what the Scripture is saying" the same authority as a direct quotation of Christ....

Able leap over Greek experts From the Greek Orthodox Church with a Greek Dictionary!! LOL!
CB ="You have got to be kidding. Jesus is the enmity?"
The Enmity to the Devil? YES! Hello!
en·mi·ty/ˈenmitē/
The state or feeling of being actively opposed or hostile to someone or something.
Synonyms:
hostility - animosity - antagonism
No offense. But reread about the enmity.
Gen. 3:15
And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring[a] and hers; he will crush[b] your head,
and you will strike his heel.”
- we see from the very beginning that God gives Mary a unique role in salvation history. God says "I will put enmity between you and the woman, between your seed and her seed." This refers to Jesus's seed (the "emnity") and Mary (the "woman"). The phrase "her seed" (spermatos) is not seen elsewhere in Scripture.
This is addressed to the serpent/devil. The seed is Jesus in his role as the messiah of the future. Also showing regain of paradise lost in the future.
That makes absolutely no sense. Jesus is not the enmity. Jesus is not “hostility - animosity – antagonism”. The hostility, animosity and antagonism come from Satan. Jesus is the seed that crushes Satan’s head.
I'm sure it will go well with all those scriptural examples of "spreading the Gospel" though the "alternative aggression" tactics of little girls, who fearing retaliation for physically assaulting their victims, attempt to emotionally injure them through malignant communication strategies. (Of course, that weapon only works against OTHER little girls.....)
What sweetness.
No doubt from the lap of the Ashteroth-goddess figure?
