No. The Catholic Church never compares the Holy Spirit (God) with the Blessed Virgin Mary (a human saint). The Catholic Church teaches: Baptism is performed in the most expressive way by triple immersion in the baptismal water. However, from ancient times it has also been able to be conferred by pouring the water three times over the candidate's head. In accordance to the command of Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:19-20: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." Catholics baptize using the words, "[Name], I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." The Catholic Church accepts any baptism from other Christian Church if it was done in this manner.
