Both Jesus and John and Luke honored the Blessed Virgin Mary, as did the Early Church Fathers. The fact that the Church continues to honor and appreciate her role is nothing new, except to those who hide behind walls of ignorance.
Honor and worship are two different things FRiend. Mary herself said that Jesus was her Savior as well as He is yours and mine. Had she been sinless as today’s Catholic Church claims she would have been the only one other then Jesus. A fact that important would surely have been clearly written about by the Apostles as was Jesus sinless nature. To claim a sinless Mary is to denigrate the importance of Jesus sinless nature as the only true pure sacrifice for our sins. The Church didn’t officially proclaim that she ascended bodily into heaven until 1950 a fact that belies the importance to earlier Churches.
