And you wonder why we cry blasphemy? You would elevate Mary to the level of the Spirit?

God is a Trinity, not a Trinity + Mary. Mary was blessed to carry Christ in her womb, but others have been blessed by God as well. Mary is a human, no different than you or me, needing a Savior just as you and I do. She has no special influence with God. Get over it.

Where did I elevate Mary to the level of the Holy Spirit?

Mary was blessed to carry Christ in her womb,

So Mary was already the maternal counterpart to the Holy Spirit once, but saying it happens again in baptism is blasphemy.

Mary is a human, no different than you or me,

I find this statement odd coming from people who believe that the Bible Alone has authority. There appears to be a tendency to put the Apostles on a pedestal amongst humans because the Holy Spirit wrote the Word of God through them, yet Mary is not to be elevated when the Word of God was brought into the world through her.
