It necessarily distracts from the worship of the ONE true G-d: YHvH. Seek YHvH in His WORD ! Since there is no scriptural support for this hypothetical construct,
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
one wonders why the need for this pagan goddess worship ?
First of all, Mary was not a pagan, but a Jew. She housed the child Jesus in her womb. He was free from sin and she was IN ADVANCE freed from sin when she was chosen to be the Mother of Jesus, God and man, two natures in one person.
Secondly, Catholics do not worship Mary. We ask her to pray for us.
