It’s pagan fertility goddess imagery used in Christian art.

I completely disagree. If you actually LOOK at pagan fertility images, the physical attributes of fecundity and lactation are grossly exaggerated.

Artemis of Ephesus -- for whom the silversmiths rioted in the streets against St. Paul.

The paintings of the Blessed Virgin nursing simply point out that she really was a mother, with all that implies.

Don't forget about the Venus of Willendorf...she had quite a rack, too!
