If there is no Mary worship, then why all the temples in her name? About 90 per cent of Catholic churches are "our Lady" this or that

Excellent question. Awhile ago I read a great quote by John Colet, the Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral in London from 1510...

"We are such as our conversation is; and practice most oft that which we most oft hear."

If it looks like Mary-worship, and sounds like Mary-worship, and reads like Mary-worship, and we spend all our time in this activity, then this is what we will know and believe and become.

If RCs would stop praying to Mary and stop asking Mary for her intercession, and stop naming churches after Mary, and stop falling to their knees before the stock of a tree painted to look like Mary, then perhaps they would be more successful in getting away from looking and sounding and acting exactly like worshipers of Mary.

NO offense, but you are an idolater, or maybe a polytheist. We all know Jesus is the answer. And yet you asked a question of somebody other than Jesus.
Q.E.D.
AND
We all know all glory is God's and yet I heard (not really, rhetorical indulgence here) that you once showed respect to someone.

As for naming Churches as a proof that the, uh, name-ee is being worshipped, then around here they worship Broadus Wood and Broadus Wood first Baptized On Saturday up to his neck while drinking poison and handling snakes Church. Actually I don't know if Broadus Wood is a person or a forest, but if it's a forest, why then that is the grove worship specifically denounced here and there in the OT.
Like I say: Q.E.D. God is gone MASH you!
