The soul is magnifying a creature above her status, to demi goddess status. That imagination allows you such erroneous gymnastics would be amusing if it were not so harmful to those a Catholic teacher teaches.

"The soul is magnifying a creature above her status, to demi goddess status."

It is God Who exalts His handmaid, not I.

And not a demigoddess.... not as the world thinks of it.

What do you suppose St. Peter means when he says,

2 Peter 1:4
He has bestowed on us the precious and very great promises, so that through them you may come to share in the divine nature, after escaping from the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire.

Or what did St. Paul mean by this?

Ephesians 4:13
until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.

Ephesians 4:24
and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Or what is St. John talking about here?

1 John 3:2
Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.

Demigoddess, you say? Aphrodite in her nightie? The fault with that is, it owes too much to a Wonder Woman comic-book imagery. It's too little. What paltry understanding we have, of what God has prepared for those who love him.

You have no idea.

James 2:8-11 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
