You are wrong.
Be careful what you move.
The may NOT be a white pawn in your hand.
This was the post (#79) with your original assertions:
The love of a created, sinful, being is better than the Creator's love??I don't see the word "better" any where in his sentence. I do see the words"more natural, safer, and more accessible. My Thesaurus does not give any of them as a synonym for "better".
And this is the text from the article being discussed:
But my own experience was that Mary led me to Christ. I had struggled to know and worship Christ, but somehow a mother’s love felt more natural, safer, and more accessible to me. So I began there, where I could.
Now, explain why it is, then, according to rules of language, that you say “better” isn't a legitimately-interpreted implication of what the Monsignor wrote because a thesaurus doesn't list “better” and the terms and expressions he used as synonyms. Wikipedia says this, for one thing:
“Although including synonyms, a thesaurus should not be taken as a complete list of all the synonyms for a particular word.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesaurus
And the issue isn't even one of synonyms. It's a matter of comparison words:
Comparison is a feature in the morphology of some languages, whereby adjectives and adverbs are inflected or modified to produce forms that indicate the relative degree of the designated properties. The grammatical category associated with comparison of adjectives and adverbs is degree of comparison. The usual degrees of comparison are the positive, which simply denotes a property (as with the English words big and fully); the comparative, which indicates greater degree (as bigger and more fully); and the superlative, which indicates greatest degree (as biggest and most fully).[1]

The Monsignor used comparatives, and the way to tell if his comparatives imply something better, is to look at the words in the context in which he used them. Comparatives often do imply something better. After a very cold day, an expression like “it's warmer today” is often meant to mean the weather is better today in that particular sense. But for someone who really loves to ski, “the days are getting warmer,” "warmer" in that case might actually imply something bad.
Now again, the Monsignor uses comparatives, in which while the presumed positives are that Jesus' love is to some extent natural, safe, and accessible, he contends that to him, at that point in his life, Mary's love was “more natural,” “safer,” and “more accessible.”
