Not worship. Veneration, praise, not worship.
Oh, and Catholic Church is a proper noun, and should be capitalized.
Here is more Mary worship, It’s shows that the official doctrine is that Mary had been elevated from human to co-redeemer.
You call it devotion, read the words - It’s WORSHIP and Idolatry, Remember Our God is a jealous God, when it comes to false gods and goddesses.
MARY: THE NECESSITY OF DEVOTION TO
The foundation of all our confidence is found in the Blessed Virgin Mary. God has committed to her the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation. For this is His will: that we obtain everything through Mary.
Bl. Pope Pius IX
Mary is this glorious intermediary; she is the mighty Mother of God.
Pope Leo XIII
Every grace which is communicated to this world has a threefold origin: it flows from God to Christ, from Christ to the Virgin, and from the Virgin to us . . . Nothing comes to us except through the mediation of Mary, for such is the will of God. Thus, just as no man goes to the Father but by the Son, so likewise no one goes to Christ except through His Mother. Whosoever will not have recourse to her is trying to fly without wings . . . O Virgin Most Holy, no one abounds in the knowledge of God except through thee; no one, O Mother of God, attains salvation except through thee!
Pope Leo XIII
For, since it is the will of Divine Providence that we should have the God-Man through Mary, there is no other way for us to receive Christ except from her hands.
Pope St. Pius X
The Child is not found without Mary, His Mother . . . If, then, it is impossible to separate what God has united, it is also certain that you cannot find Jesus except with Mary and through Mary.
Pope St. Pius X
Sweet heart of Mary, be my salvation!
Bl. Pope Pius IX
One cannot talk about the Church if Mary, the Mother of the Lord, is not present with His brothers. Only Mary could make one heart and one mind of Jesus’ Apostles, as though Christ wanted to show us that He entrusted to His Mother’s maternal care the mission of making the Church a single family. Yes, in Mary we have the bond of communion of all of us who, through faith and Baptism, are disciples and brothers of Jesus.
Pope John Paul II
Everyone of the multitudes, therefore, whom the evil of calamitous circumstances has stolen away from Catholic unity, must be born again to Christ by that same Mother whom God has endowed with a never-failing fertility to bring forth a holy people.
Pope Leo XIII
Bearing in her womb the Savior, Mary can also be said to have borne all those whose life the Savior’s life enshrined. All of us, then, as many as are knit to Christ . . . have come forth from Mary’s womb: one body, as it were, knit together with its Head.
Pope St. Pius X
He will not taste death forever who, in his dying moments, has recourse to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Pope Pius XI
All those who seek Mary’s protection will be saved for all eternity.
Pope Benedict XV
O Mary, thou art the noblest, the most exalted and purest, the fairest, the holiest of all things created! I desire a greater and more tender love of thee, and this thou must obtain for me, because love of thee is a great sign of predestination, and a grace granted by God to those who shall be saved.
Pope Pius VII
O Mother of Perpetual Help, confidence in thee is a certain pledge of everlasting salvation.
Bl. Pope Pius IX
Hail, Mary, gracious Mother of Mercy; who would not love thee? Thou are out certain salvation!
Pope Pius XII
What will it cost you, O Mary, to hear our prayer? What will it cost you to save us? Has not Jesus placed in your hands all the treasures of His grace and mercy? You sit crowned as Queen at the right hand of your Son: your dominion reaches as far as the heavens, and to you are subject the earth and all creatures dwelling thereon. Your dominion reaches even down into the abyss of Hell, and you alone, O Mary, save us from the hands of Satan.
Pope Pius XI
Mary, not one of thy devout servants has ever perished; may I, too, be saved!
Pope Benedict XV
Who, O Lady, ever faithfully employed your all powerful aid and was abandoned by you?
Pope St. Eutychian
For if we are bidden to honor carnal fathers and mothers, how much more the spiritual? . . . If this virtue of charity has been overlooked, a man will lose any fruit of salvation in any good he may do.
Pope St. Gregory VII
To desire grace without recourse to the Virgin Mother is to desire to fly without wings.
