You would elevate Mary to the level of the Spirit?

Where did I elevate Mary to the level of the Holy Spirit?

Mary was blessed to carry Christ in her womb,

So Mary was already the maternal counterpart to the Holy Spirit once, but saying it happens again in baptism is blasphemy.

Mary is a human, no different than you or me,

I find this statement odd coming from people who believe that the Bible Alone has authority. There appears to be a tendency to put the Apostles on a pedestal amongst humans because the Holy Spirit wrote the Word of God through them, yet Mary is not to be elevated when the Word of God was brought into the world through her.

I do not put the apostles on pedestals.
all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God - you guys are the ones that put saints, apostles, popes, church fathers, and anyone else you can think of on a pedestal

And Mary is not the maternal counterpart of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has no human counterpart. God is God and creatures are creatures. God can and does use humans to accomplish His will, but we are instruments, not counterparts or in any other way equal to God.
