“We honor Mary; we do not worship her”

Some do, most don’t. Fatima and Guadalupe at least come close to worship, if not officially, then at least on the part of a lot of believers.

What definition of 'worship' are you using?

I’m sure it seems like worship(in the sense of worshipping Christ) to you. But why do us Catholics deny this worship—why would a religion claim to not worship something that is indeed worshipped? What would be the point?

How many souls have you had the privilege of seeing into? And where do you get that capability? The Fatima apparitions and the Guadalupe apparitions are ALL about Christ. The most famous prayer to come from the visionaries at Fatima says, "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins and save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of they mercy."
