Judy, one of the main reasons I embrace Catholocism (I was raised Catholic as well) is its emphasis on the Virgin Mary. Catholocism seems to be the only Christian denomination with such an important female figure. It seems the Protestant denominations don't put as much emphasis on her. I really like the fact that there is a female figurehead. Granted, she is an impossible ideal to live up to (both VIRGIN and MOTHER).
I find her quite comforting.
