We don't worship Mary. (That is, unless you're using "worship" in its original sense of "render honor to", as in the traditional wedding vows which have the groom saying to the bride, "With my body I thee worship.")

RCC doctrine that says that Christ reigns through Mary puts Mary in Christ's place. That makes Mary the subject of false worship.

Now, that is silly -- and completely false. It's exactly what is wrong with your arguments. I have no doubt you're well meaning and all, but you have been taught by false teachers and have been spoon fed anti-Church propaganda which you're repeating.

At no point does The Church's doctrine say that Christ reigns through Mary, at no point do we say that She was not just a created being, not a god or a goddess in any possible way. Everything that She is -- the vessel that carried Jesus, etc. is because of God.
