She did make committed catholic bishops, and that was probably a surprise to others. While she was trying to get the throne she ordered her first execution at the Tower of London. Lady Jane Grey and her husband were the first to be charged with high treason.

Mary was the Mother of God, meaning she is the human who can lead us the closest to Christ. In chapter 8 of The Enduring Faith & Timeless Truths of Fulton Sheen by Dr. Mark Zia, a devotion to Mary is shown as essential to a relationship with her son. In reverence to this woman, Catholic-Christians give Mary the high form of veneration, called hyperdulia.
