Are you suggesting that John the Baptist wasn't filled with the Holy Spirit? If not, by what spirit did he prophesy?
I'm wondering if you're going to address Luke 11:27. Sure seems that Jesus was dismayed by the early displays of mariology.
John was “filled with” the Holy Spirit in the sense that the OT prophets were, but he was not “overshadowed” by the Holy Spirit in the sense Mary was; nor did he have the indwelling Holy Spirit in the sense Christians did after the Resurrection. On a related note, St. John Chrysostom made this point regarding the verse we are discussing (Matthew 11:11): "That the abundance of this praise might not beget a wrong inclination in the Jews to set John above Christ, he corrects this, saying, 'He that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.'"
I was addressing Luke 11:27 and 11:28 together in the post you’re replying to. The contrast here is between being blessed for physical reasons and being blessed for spiritual reasons; this not a denial that Mary is blessed in the latter sense. Indeed, the Holy Spirit via both Elizabeth and Mary had previously proclaimed that Mary was blessed, and Jesus is not contradicting that here.
