=== Catholic usage ===

In the [[Catholic]] Church, 'cult' can also be used to describe a follower's particular devotion to a [[saint]] or another aspect of the faith, eg the cult of [[St Mary]] or of the [[Holy Cross]]<ref>For example at [http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/virg/hd_virg.htm The Cult of the Virgin Mary in the Middle Ages]</ref>. This usage does not have the negative connotations of the more common meaning described on this page. It is possible that it is less used in the present day to avoid confusion with dangerous cults.
