> “Her womb was the true tabernacle, after all, something not to be touched.”

Not according to Jesus Christ:

Luke 11:
[27] And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

[28] But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Amen and exactly. If ever there was a chance for Mary to receive the adulation and veneration the RCC believes she deserves, it was at this point. Jesus Christ could have said "Yea, blessed is My mother." But He did not. The RCC Mary doctrine falls apart at this passage of Scripture. Or should.

Either He did not realize she was worthy of worship, or she was not worthy of worship.

Attention RCs who love to read just the red words in the Bible: read Luke 11:27,28. Christ said those words in verse 28. How do you possibly reconcile what He said to what you believe?

Luke 11:27 tells us that all the saints should be venerated, not just Mary, and not for her physical nurturing of Christ alone. Anything I missed here?
