[OLD REGGIE]

Do you have any surveys that document the many Catholic who affirm that they worship Mary?

Of course not, it is not something the Catholic Church would study or publish. The only "evidence" available are from ex-priests, ex-Catholics, and non-Catholic (some hate sites) sources. The record shows it has been, and is, particularly prevalent in Central and South America.

A Google search on "worship of Mary" will prove interesting.

I want make sure that I understand what you are saying before I comment further. Are you saying that Catholics all know that they are worshipping Mary but that there is a world-wide conspiracy to keep this hidden; that only ex-priests and ex-Catholics are letting the secret out of the bag?
