The four Gospels in the New Testament do not say that the Virgin Mary was conceived of the Holy Spirit as Jesus Crist was, and neither does the Apostles' Creed from the forth and fifth centuries.

Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord;
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;*
the third day he rose from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic** church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

*Traditional use of this creed includes these words: "He descended into hell."
**universal

If your Roman Church's claim by the Pope in 1854 were the Gospel truth, the divine words would be there and they are not there.   The Holy Trinity is not a Trinity plus Mary.   I don't want to see another word from you.

your comment: “The Holy Trinity is not a Trinity plus Mary.”
I agree, yet the Blessed Mother is the Mother of God, Jesus (two natures God and man). The 4th Commandment says Honor thy father and thy mother.

If you believe that the Catholic faith considers the Blessed Mother divine, then you are absolutely wrong and following false teachers and possibly breaking the 8th commandment not to bear false witness against someone.

I hope that you have a greater appreciation of your spiritual Blessed Mother as a gift to all from Christ on the cross.

The Apostles’ Creed is believed to have been developed by the early Christian community and is a concise summary of the core beliefs of Christianity. It focuses on the belief in God as the creator, Jesus as the Son of God, the Holy Spirit, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and eternal life.
