No, I lean toward believing that Mary is the Ark of the Covenant (AOTC)mentioned in Revelations, but she's the Ark of the NEW covenent. Therefore, not the same thing as the original ark of the covenant in the OT.

Also in Revelation 12:1-2 is refering to Israel and the woman is symbolic of Mary, but I still don't get were she is the Ark of the New Covenant. Is this something that the Catholics teach?

Nope, like I said-- this isn't doctrine. It's self-evident in the scriptures, according to some biblical scholars and the Early Church Fathers. Even though it involves the Blessed Mother, this isn't a Catholic/Protestant thing. I personally just think it's really cool! I remember when it was first pointed out to me, and I thought "how did I never see this before!"
To answer your question-- The original AOTC housed the Law, the holy Word of God. The NEW AOTC (Mary) housed the Word of God who was Jesus. You don't see the correlation?
