so that "the Holy Spirit acts only by the Most Blessed Virgin, his Spouse." A hen pecked husband in submission to his wife, eh?

it gets worse, for it is asserted/imagined of this demigoddess:

...in the supernatural and spiritual generation there is a father who is God and a mother who is Mary; she is Mother of her Creator...through Whom the Holy Trinity is sanctified; The power thus put into her (Mary’s) hands is all but unlimited; surpassing in power all the angels and saints in Heaven; At the command of Mary all obey, even God. She is omnipotent; Virgin most powerful; the greatness of the power which she wields over one who is God cannot be conceived; all in heaven and on earth, even God himself, is subject to the Blessed Virgin...she seems to have the same power as God. Her prayers and requests are so powerful with him that he accepts them as commands in the sense that he never resists his dear mother’s prayer because it is always humble and conformed to his will; when she acts, it is also He who acts; and that if her intervention be not accepted, neither is His.... Her position as "the first of all creatures, the most acceptable child of God, the nearest and dearest to him".. through her alone does He dispense His favours and His gifts; there is no grace which Mary cannot dispose of as her own, which is not given to her for this purpose;" above the Cherubim and higher than the Seraphim, right near God Himself!; Mary has authority over the angels and the blessed in heaven...God gave her the power and the mission of assigning to saints the thrones made vacant by the apostate angels who fell away through pride....all the angels in heaven unceasingly call out to her...They greet her countless times each day with the angelic greeting, "Hail, Mary", while prostrating themselves before her, begging her as a favour to honour them with one of her requests...The whole world is filled with her glory...Whatever desires the patriarchs may have cherished, whatever entreaties the prophets and saints of the Old Law may have had for 4,000 years to obtain that treasure, it was Mary alone who merited it; sometimes salvation is quicker if we remember Mary's name then if we invoked the name of the Lord Jesus; No one achieves salvation except through you...No one receives grace except through you; Thou are all-powerful in saving sinners; Beware, chosen soul, of thinking that it is more perfect to direct your work and intention straight to Jesus or straight to God; Lady in heaven, we have but one advocate, and that is thyself, and thou alone art truly loving and solicitous for our salvation; through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation. For this is his will, that we obtain everything through Mary; in Heaven we have but one advocate, and that is Thyself; and that Thou alone art truly loving and solicitous for our welfare; .you love us with a love that no other love can surpass. How often you appease the wrath of our Divine Judge, when He is on the point of punishing us! All the treasures of the mercy of God are in your hands; she had to suffer, as He did, all the consequences of sin. It was not only during the Passion that Jesus and Mary suffered for our sins; We were condemned through the fault of one woman; we are saved through the merits of another woman; to her, Jesus owes His Precious Blood...

Hen pecked God, too.

Mary sure is powerful.

Take away Mary and most of Catholicism would collapse.

The truly sad part, aside from the blasphemous writing, is not one single Roman Catholic will dismiss this as heresy.

Not one.

This is why "tradition" is rejected.

Blasphemous nonsense. The Roman Church is apostate and leading sinners to hell if they believe half of the crap. Yes crap straight from the pit of hell. It would be funny if so much was not at stake.

In the last sentence especially the falseness is exposed ... the mother of a gestating child does not determine or make the blood of the child. In fact, the mother gives shelter and nutrients to the child through a separation system o f the placental barrier and her circulatory system takes away waste and provides oxygen, but her blood is not making any of the child, the new life is building its own vehicle for life in the air world.

What Catholicism assumes (probably speciously) is that Mary provide the ovum from which Jesus was produced. That fundamental mythos is so vital to the many layers of lies and fables in Catholicism

But then what would Catholicism be without their fables and mythos?
