Let me be sure I'm understanding you....a shrine built to Mary isn't worship or adoration??
Someone on their knees praying to Mary at their shrine isn't worship or adoration??
We obviously have some different understandings on worship and adoration.
That's for sure. As I wrote earlier for an act to be worship (properly) there must be some sacrifice, for an act to be adoration there must be the acknowledgement that the object of devotion is the source of his/her own attributes. Therefore we worship God in the Mass and we adore him when we acknowledge him to be almighty, etc.. For all the flowery (over the top?) language used when addressing Mary, prayers directed toward the Holy Trinity are substantially different. It may come as a surprise to you but Catholics don't believe Mary is God because nothing that Mary possesses in terms of power or glory is her own. She is a creature, not the Creator.
