- Didn't Kevin Smith make a film about this?
Although I was educated by nuns early in life, and have some confidence that the Trinity doesn't violate the 1st Commandment, I've never been wholly persuaded about Marian devotion. I'm not challenging you on faith, but I'd welcome a brief explanation of something I don't quite understand, if you're disposed to indulge me.

- Ah, Marian devotion!
There's not really a short answer, but the not-so-short answer has a lot to do with Mary's role in salvation history. Jesus could have been born to anyone, yet Gabriel came to Mary, and it was Mary's "yes" that permitted the salvation of all.
There's a longer version of this, but suffice to say that Mary, because she is Jesus' mother, holds a special place.
