Stop acting dumb, you know your Bible...

[31] Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus...

[34] And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?...

[35] And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Daughter of the Father, Mother of the Son, Bride of the Holy Spirit. Each different Persons of the Holy Trinity. Yet, each is completely One. One God.

I think your beef is with God, not Catholics.

Please show where in Scripture Mary is the "Bride of the Holy Spirit". The so-called "beef" isn't with God. It's with Catholicism that declares things Christians are obligated to believe when God's word says nothing about it. If your contention is that the Catholic church can mandate anything she declares as "de fide", then explain how this idea doesn't contradict:

    And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. (1 Corinthians 4:6)

What we DO know from Scripture:

  1. All believers are sons and daughters of Almighty God. (Galatians 3:26)
  2. All believers are members of the Bride of Christ (II Corinthians 11:2)
  3. Israel is the wife of the LORD (Ezekiel 16:8-21; Jeremiah 3:1,6-8,14; Hosea 2:2-7)

Not a thing about Mary being the wife of the Holy Spirit. She was legally married to Joseph. As a believer, Mary IS a member of the Bride of Christ.
