So lawyers worship judges?

Dude....keep the conversation in the context of the Word. Good grief.

Bottom line is that catholics worship Mary as demonstrated by their actions. Sorry you and other catholics don't like it.

Catholics have statues to Mary,

Catholics light candles to Mary,

Catholics kneel before Mary,

Catholics pray to Mary and rely upon her for salvation....they even rely upon her to do things for them that Christ may not be willing to do.

Sorry you like to play semantic games. From Google:

wor·ship

ˈwərSHəp/Submit
noun

1. the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.
"the worship of God"

verb

1. show reverence and adoration for (a deity); honor with religious rites.
"the Maya built jungle pyramids to worship their gods"

You choose to extrapolate from your own ill-informed observations the interior motivations and rites of others with whom you disagree on theological issues. Please feel free to play games with words all you want, and twist them to fit your prejudices. By doing so however, you will only demonstrate to those of us who know, how little you truly understand.
