Catholic Answer Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church. The Lady Chapel in a Catholic Cathedral is important because it is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus. The Blessed Virgin is very important in Catholic theology, as she is the Mediatrix of Grace. This is no way detracts from Our Blessed Lord's role as the Mediator between God and man. But God, not us, chose the Blessed Virgin Mary to be His Son's mother. In other words, the only way in which God did enter the world was through the mediation of the most humble, holy woman who ever lived on this earth - the Blessed Virgin. He could have chosen any way in the world to do it, he could have just shown up, but He chose to be born of the Virgin, and to be raised in a human family, and live in a human family for thirty years! We ignore how God chose to do things at our own peril. The Lady Chapel, the Chapel behind the High Altar is dedicated to the woman through whom our Salvation came, and the woman through whom God mediates all grace to those on earth.
