Here is another example of how Roman Catholicism worships Mary and has exalted her to a position that usurps Christ.

Second Vatican Council (Lumen gentium ## 61-62) For this reason, the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of:	New Testament
Advocate	My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; 2and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2 NASB
Auxiliatrix [Latin for helper, aide]	"But the Helper [paraklétos, GR, (a) an advocate, intercessor, (b) a consoler, comforter, helper, (c) Paraclete.], the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. John 14:26 NASB

Sure, whatever you say.

This poster misrepresents the Holy Ghost as the Blessed Mother.

Pay no mind to him. He hates Her.

"Paraclete" is advocate, not "helper".

Saying that Mary is an advocate does not detract from or usurp Christ in any way. Before whom do you think Mary is our advocate? Christ, obviously. Nothing wrong with having one of God's friends on your side.

Only in the your twisted, zero-sum world is loving Mary as Jesus loves Mary somehow an insult to Jesus. If someone loves your mother, is that an insult to you? If someone asks your mother to ask you for a favor, is that an insult to you? Of course not.
