This. I think at one of her apparitions Mary herself confirms her virginity. It might be Lourdes or Fatima.

Don't you get it yet? It's all real. All the apparitions, all the miracles, all the healings, all the visions and prophecies. Every single bit of it is real, at least that which has been officially confirmed by the Church. You can stick your head in the sand all you want, but it doesn't matter. It's real whether you want it to be or not.

Well this is a logical response to the degree to which Mary has shown herself to be a powerful intercessor on our behalf. Of all the advocates we have in Heaven, she seems to be particularly potent, as evidenced by the numerous Marian apparitions approved by the Church. There are plenty of saints with apparitions to their names, but nothing on the scale of, say, Lourdes of Fatima. Like so much in Catholicism, it's not really an invention so much as a reaction.
