Because "idolatry" involves "worship" and Catholics don't teach the "worship" of Mary.

That is a factual difference, not a simple disagreement.

I know very well what Catholics teach. I also know what many practice - There was for instance a petition some years ago by priests asking the Pope to make Mary the 3rd person in the Trinity. He wisely said 'no' - but you get the drift.

shades of gray... shades of gray...
Anyway - this will role on and we are not likely to agree,

Warm regards to you in Christ.
