“Why would the church do that? I have one theory. To reach the women. To create a female principle to balance the male principle, because Jesus was male, and a female symbol focuses attracts and binds women, especially those not already attached to a man.
It is a marketing technique, but technique it is. And Catholic leadership is composed of brilliant men. I’ve read some apologies translated from the Latin on social issues. Tight and right.”
Did any Church leader knowingly worship Mary, or was the teaching of the Church concerning Mary always just a trick to attract women to the early Church (even though they wouldn’t realize that they were actually worshippin’ Mary)? Do Catholics choose to worship Mary?
