(Supposed) worship of Mary, images, popes, etc
15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.

Wow that's absurd blasphemy.
2112 The first commandment condemns polytheism. It requires man neither to believe in, nor to venerate, other divinities than the one true God. Scripture constantly recalls this rejection of “idols, [of] silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see.” These empty idols make their worshipers empty: “Those who make them are like them; so are all who trust in them.”42 God, however, is the “living God”43 who gives life and intervenes in history. (210)
No supposed to it. Seen people weeping all over Madonna's, praying to and worshipping Mary (hail Mary). Now if i hadn't seen these things with my own eyes, you might be able to convince me. Litany's to Mary declare her the Queen of Heaven
Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
And blessed is the fruit of your womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of our deaths

I can't speak Latin.
Our Lord and His mother are sinless. Mary is the exception, God's plan.

"I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel."
In this verse God addresses Satan. The Seed here is Christ. The Woman is His Mother, that is, Mary. Thus Satan has perfect enmity with Christ and with His Mother. The Catholic Church has interpreted this as indicating the sinlessness of Christ and Mary. If either actually committed sin, then they would not be at enmity with Satan but actually a cooperator with Satan at times. www.taylormarshall.com...

p.s. Thank you Taylor Marshall. Taylor was an Anglican priest who converted to Catholicism. You can too NTT, I wish before the "awakening" (Rev 6:15-17, 1 Cor 3:13).

So, if I am reading this correctly, there is a "seed of Satan" and a "seed of Mary," implying that Mary was not of Satan, and therefore not of sin?

Vulgate style the Dhouay-Rheims being a derivitive of, which is taken from the older Latin Vulgate. I was surprised to find that in there myself. Now you see where catholics get confused with the "co-redemptrix" junk. Apparently someone let a heretic with a pen near an ancient manuscript without knowing it and it has rippled through time to effect millions.
The Vulgate was the first translation into Latin from the Greek. It was done about 380-410 A.D. The Douay-Rheims came out about 1570-1610 and was the first officially approved translation into English.

By the 7th century the feast of her conception was widely celebrated in the East, under the name of the Conception (active) of Saint Anne. In the West it was known as the feast of the Conception (passive) of Mary, and was associated particularly with the Normans, whether these introduced it directly from the East or took it from English usage.
The spread of the feast, by now with the adjective "Immaculate" attached to its title, met opposition on the part of some, on the grounds that sanctification was possible only after conception. Critics included Saints Bernard of Clairvaux, Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas. Other theologians defended the expression "Immaculate Conception", pointing out that sanctification could be conferred at the first moment of conception in view of the foreseen merits of Christ, a view held especially by Franciscans.
Writers such as Mark Miravalle and Sarah Jane Boss interpret the existence of the feast as a strong indication of the Church's traditional belief in the Immaculate Conception.
