That’s your best refutation of the fact that you couldn’t even spell his name? Wow!

I think that's actually a quote of St. Anselm in St. Alphonse Liguori's Glories of Mary. Just after that citation the following is written:

Meaning, that we more easily find salvation by having recourse to the Mother than by going to the Son—not as if Mary was more powerful than her Son to save us, for we know that Jesus Christ is our only Savior, and that he alone by his merits has obtained and obtains salvation for us; but it is for this reason: that when we have recourse to Jesus, we consider him at the same time as our judge, to whom it belongs also to chastise ungrateful souls, and therefore the confidence necessary to be heard may fail us; but when we go to Mary, who has no other office than to compassionate us as Mother of mercy, and to defend us as our advocate, our confidence is more easily established, and is often greater.

Emphasis mine, just to make sure we're all on the same page here.
