...Many have said ,usually in a critical way, that we Catholics pray "to" Mary, but I believe I've also heard that, in actuality, they pray "with" Mary and that our Mother prays on our behalf)...
Yes it is... it is better stated that we Catholics ask Mary to pray for us and with us, on our behalf in order to draw us closer to her Son Jesus. The Orthodox have a saying..."Most Holy Mother of God save us" Which in reality means to ask Mary to help us toward our salvation. I believe St Paul said in " I became all things to all men, that I might save all" Paul himself could save no one...but his prayers helped them on their path to Jesus. Just pointing out.
