For something to be "settled" it must be established by law. Since this is not a matter of law, as long as posters disagree whether or not Mary is being worshipped, it is not "settled" and the question remains a valid issue for an "open" Religion Forum thread.
As some poster around here once said, paraphrased, truth is something man seeks, it is not his final possession, only God knows truth.

The alternative would be mind-reading and (mis)attribution of motive.
