The Role of Mary in the Catholic Church

John henry newman wrote a famous letter where he's sort of qualifying the role of mary ah in the idea of doctrinal development. He says, that vast system as to the blessed virgin, to all of us, has been the special crux of the roman system. That's a remarkable statement when you think about it. It's interwoven through the whole of the catholic system. The interconnected nature of mary christ and the church gives more reason to believe in her assumption, not less.
