AXO Alum - I'm glad I was able to answer some of your questions. Theology always was my favorite subject. In fact, I'm looking into going to graduate school and pursuing a masters in theology. I don't want to preach (I so do not have the talent for that!), but I'd like to teach comparative religions at the college level.
I understand what you mean about the Mary thing. When my brother got married, he and his wife had a traditional Catholic ceremony. During the ceremony, there's a part where Kathy (my sister-in-law) went up to Mary's alter, lit a candle, said a prayer, and then re-joined my brother. It was hard to explain to the non-Catholics in the congregation about that one. It did look like she was taking a break from all the standing she had to do.
