Hi,
I agree that the images of breasts associated with female saints represent
motherhood more than sexuality. I believe that it has been suggested that
some of these "motherhood appeals" were added to the hagiographies at
later dates in order to increase audience appeal. Jocelyn Wogan-Browne
and Al Doyle are two names that come to mind . . .correct me if I'm wrong.
