We are then, it will be seen, very far from attributing to the Mother of God a productive power of grace - a power which belongs to God alone.

Try not to let this section influence how you read the rest of the Marian stuff, OK?

The present Yankees dynasty may be the greatest baseball team ever fielded. They have won four world series, and could have won two more. The quality of their starting pitching, their relief pitching, their batting and their defense is phenomenal. Under the measured guidance of the great Joe Torre, this mix of outstanding young players and veterans reintroduced the very concept of "dynasty" to modern baseball. George Steinbrenner may be the best owner ever, willing to do whatever it takes to put the best team possible on the field. One can truly affirm that this team is unsurpassed by any teams in the past, and any possible future team. Now, in saying this, we are far from attributing to the present-day dynasty a status reserved for the 1923 team alone.

In other words, we understand she is not the source of infinite power but it is clear that she has the ministrix, dispensitrix, headbossitrix of all the power in the universe. But but but, she is not the source, but but but she is in charge of it all. But we don't worship her, but if you don't accept her you are in major trouble. Yeah I understand perfectly.
