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

INDEED. Said better by you than I have in umpteen posts.
Yes, just tonite on cable tv I see something referencing "Our Lady of the Angels". What the heck is that? Our lady of the Immaculate Heart. Our lady of Guatemala, our lady of the Atonement (what is that?), our lady Queen of Peace, our lady of Lourdes, our lady of fatima, our lady of the immaculate conception, our lady of the Assumption, our lady of perpetual virginity, our lady of the lake, (lake?) wasn't that King Arthur? It is very bizarre.
