Satan would rather the world see Jesus dead on that cross. Its the last image he wants in the worlds eyes and the Catholic Church has helped in that regard.

Not to mention the guilt. We know Jesus accepted the cross to pay for our crimes. Some can't seem to get beyond the death and punishment to forgiveness and Resurrection. Maybe that's why they need a pure, virgin queen-goddess.

You know I hadn't thought about that angle before but you have a point. They certainly have not gotten to the forgiveness since they still have their works and purgatory.
