Mary, Virgin Made Church
"Hail, my Lady, Holy Queen, Mary, Mother of God. You are virgin made church. You have been chosen in heaven by the Most Holy Father. With his Most Holy Beloved Son and the Holy Spirit he has consecrated you, so that in you is all fullness of grace and every good." --Salutation to the Blessed Virgin Mary
To be chosen as the mother of Jesus Christ, God incarnate, cannot really be put into words adequately. St. Francis's reverence for her was understandable. I wonder if Protestants would have more respect for women if they revered Mary, too. When the Protestants broke from the Catholic church they pretty much dispensed with everything connected with it. This is the problem with "organized religion." It seems to be all or nothing once the tenets of that particular religion are set. It takes reformations and splits to make any changes which does nothing to unify the body of Christ.
