Your little smiley face reveals much.... I have often thought many catholics see Mary as a replacement of affection for the mothers and wives they no longer have. The images of her fills the place their mother or wife had. A feminine creature the church sanctions as readily available to them...which encourages Mary worship. But sadly Mary is no more available to them then their own mothers or wives are. They are all hopefully safely with the Lord
God have mercy. More parlor psychology.
