Have catholics ever considered worshiping God, instead of hearts, Mary and all these people they have declared to be “saints”?

Watch a Mexican crowd pray to a statue of Mary.
If that’s veneration instead of worship, it’s a
distinction without a difference.

Asking saints to intercede for us is not “worship” - it is asking saints to intercede for us, with respect shown by kneeling.

Idolatry. Ya, it’s really just that simple.

That thing looks like dried beef jerky. No wonder it hasn’t decomposed.

“Catholic” had NOTHING to do with it. Jesus isn’t “CATHOLIC”
No, he was Jewish. So what? Obviously from ANY Christian perspective, the Jews are wrong. They didn't recognize him as their savior, so once the Jewish religion was fulfilled (through Jesus), the mantle was passed on through to Peter, and that traces down through the Catholic Church. Every other Christian religion branches off from Catholicism, starting with the Orthodoxi in the 400s (some of which have returned to communion with Rome). The Protestant has a lot of different branches, but ultimately all goes back to only the 1500s.

Why are you blissfully slandering people? Guess you can't answer the question. And for future reference, learn the difference between slander and libel, neither of which occurred in my original post. I simply asked why do catholics worship hearts, JC's mom, saints and God knows what else. If you did a little exploring outside you comfort zone you'd find out that you can actually talk to God directly. No middleman or other intermediaries needed. In fact, it's the only way you should be communicating with Him.

Mary is a special favorite; and hence, getting on her good side is recommended.
Remember the Immaculate Conception and the Magnificat?
All to the greater Glory of God.

Some people read Joel Osteen and some prefer St. Augustine.

And those who want to get close to God read the Bible and worship Him, instead of praying to body parts, JC's mom and other humans.
