The saddest thing about Catelyn is that if they just did the things she suggested the whole mess would've been avoided.
She wanted to avoid wars and call a great council to decide on who should be King. They're all legally bound to do that if it's requested by a claimant. Poor ha.

That's the point: Catelyn let Robb dictate what House Stark would do instead of taking control of the situation and forcing him to heed her counsel and disaster ensues (in this sense, the Catelyn/Robb relationship parallels the Joffrey/Cersei relationship)
As Tywin put it: "The house that puts family first will always defeat the house that puts the whims and wishes of its sons and daughters first,"
