If true, could that have resulted in greasing the skids to usher in female priests? Or is Mary’s status used as a pretext to justify females on the Altar, at the pulpit, and eventually in the hierarchy?I have always understood it as rather the opposite - that the markedly gendered nature of the Latin church system (all single men) necessitated particularizing the female principle in a single individual.

“...particularizing the female principle in a single individual.”
Can you elaborate on that a little? I’m not quite sure what that means.
