God hears the cry of the poor and Mother Mary taught us of a great reversal that is coming, when the mighty and powerful will be cast down and poor and lowly raised up (Lk 1:52).

The Msgr. needs to get his Greek books out.

In 1:52 the word poor is not in the Greek.

The word for humble is tapeinós (an adjective) – properly, low; (figuratively) inner lowliness describing the person who depends on the Lord rather than self. HELPS Word Studies http://biblehub.com/greek/5011.htm

What the Msgr. has done is eisegesis which is reading something into the text that is not there vs exegesis which is bringing out of the text what is there.

We won't even discuss the false title of Mother Mary.

False tile of Mary. You are so clueless on Catholic theology, that it is embarrassing even to those who are non-Catholics.

Why not?

Check the story of the Visitation where Elizabeth, inspired by the Holy Spirit, says, “And how is this that the Mother of my Lord should visit me.” (Paraphrasing.)
