As Roman Catholicism sees Mary and Jesus.

Big Mary....little Jesus.

But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence ...

Or is that the one built in the apparition's honor in Mexico??

Roman Catholicism mixes a little truth with their false doctrines and you get false teaching.

It's a symbolic presentation of the pregnant Mary with Jesus inside her. He is portrayed, not naturalist4ically, but iconographically, as clothed and reigning, because He is God: the King of the Universe.

Unborn babies in their mothers are smaller than their mothers. Hence the size difference.

We (as in you and I, or as "we Christians" in general) are Temples of the Holy Spirit. Mary qualifies as a Temple of the Holy Spirit <>par excellence, as the Holy Spirit entered her --- and caused her to become pregnant with God incarnate.

Rather a unique miracle, beinst it only happened once in the history of the Universe, and will never happen again.

Thus we, like Mary, rejoice in God our Savior.

Rejoice, ealg!

Anything else you want me to explain?
