Happy New Year!
1:19 I thought you said Dom Guéranger, no, Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange, my bad, haven't read him, will listen

13:22 What I have stated about the good surprise that She had when visiting St. Elisabeth amounts to:
a) She suspended final judgement about being the Mother of God and of the Saviour until an earthly ecclesiastic authority confirmed it, basically like She told Bernadette to do;
b) She did not know or had at least suspended final judgement about Her being sinless, until Elisabeth explained the words of the angel with a clearer reference to Genesis 3:15.

Total defeater of Satan = totally sinless.

And if you ask me, She was happier about this even than about being the Mother of God. This is confirmed by Her divine Son's words "nay rather" which amount to saying: "give my mother the compliment she really savours" and also is how She raised Her Son. He was, humanly, happier about pleasing the Father than about being the Son.

What exactly do I mean?

"blessed among women" = total and mortally so defeater of someone (Jael and Judith, you just said She knew Scripture very well, which is true)
"and blessed is the fruit of thy womb" = woman and son = Genesis 3:15, it was the snake's head She had already crushed.

Unlike the Witch-King of Angmar, Satan can't be defeated by swords, so the one total defeat he could suffer from a human person was that someone being sinless.

And She knew also it was not just Her divine Son's sinlessness, since She had been told this by the angel before She was pregnant. Confer what the angel tells Her the following verses, "thou shalt conceive" ...

I don't understand what the Protestants are doing, those who claim to believe the Bible and refuse to believe the total sinlessness, hence the Immaculate Conception.
