BTW, this charge of worshipping Mary has it’s roots in Islam, where the devil inspired Mohammed to falsely assert that the Catholics worshipped three gods in the Koran, the Father,Jesus and Mary.
so congratulations ealgeone, that’s some great company you are keeping.

Bogus....an non-Catholic can see catholics worship Mary.
It more likely comes through statements like this from that great islamist.....opps....sorry...catholic pope....
"Mary is the intermediary through whom is distributed unto us this immense treasure of mercies gathered by God, for mercy and truth were created by Jesus Christ. Thus as no man goeth to the Father but by the Son, so no man goeth to Christ but by His Mother." (Vatican Website: Encyclical of Pope Leo XIII on the Rosary, Octobri Mense, Pope Leo XIII, 1903-1914)
CCC 841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."
So congratulations Catholics, it's official. Catholics and Muslims serve the same god.
