I am beginning to realize that the Virgin Mary exists from Eve through the OT, through the NT through Revelation. There is NO place she isn’t. And wherever she is, the Catholic Church is. Now she is the woman of Rev. 12. ..shaking my head in true wonderment and realizing it’s useless, useless...

With a little study on typology and I think you'd be fine.

Do you understand what we mean by 'type' and "prefigures"? MAry wasn;t literally the ark of the covenant or the ark of Noah. But they have aspects which are importantly similar to her, as the Torah is a 'type' of Jesus the true Word, and as all living are saved (at least in principle) by Him whom Mary bore.

Since the "Reformation" there is almost nothing but materialism, and few get what the reality of ideas is.

INDEED. It’s a wonder they don’t have her on TV selling Holy Charmin.

However, it’s not useless. HIS WORD does not return void.

And, lurkers on the fence may well be snatched from the fires by our humble words.

Well, in some place "types" and in others Mary herself. So yes, wherever the Church is, there are 'types' of Mary.
