Please clarify, I always thought that Catholics consider Mary as divine and pray to her as an intercessor. If you want to get to Jesus, you have to pray thru Mary--that's how I understood the Catholic dogma. My hairdresser explained it to me that way. Please clarify if this is not what Catholics believe.

This is NOT true! If this is what your hairdresser told you, then she misunderstands her own faith. Or perhaps you misunderstood what she was really trying to say, and that's what you walked away with. In any case, a good read through many of these posts will help you understand to a degree what Catholics believe about Mary.
