Catechism 969:

“Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation”

Mary’s function as mother of men in no way obscures or diminishes this unique mediation of Christ, but rather shows its power. But the Blessed Virgin’s salutary influence on men . . . flows forth from the superabundance of the merits of Christ, rests on his mediation, depends entirely on it, and draws all its power from it.”513 “No creature could ever be counted along with the Incarnate Word and Redeemer; but just as the priesthood of Christ is shared in various ways both by his ministers and the faithful, and as the one goodness of God is radiated in different ways among his creatures, so also the unique mediation of the Redeemer does not exclude but rather gives rise to a manifold cooperation which is but a sharing in this one source
Catechism 970

my emphasis:
NO CREATURE COULD EVER BE COUNTED ALONG WITH THE INCARNATE WORD AND REDEEMER.

get it? Mary is a creature, a being created by God. It would be a mortal sin to worship her or any other creature.

presented if there are any lurkers who sincerely don’t know what the Chhurch teaches.
others, who have been corrected and insist on making false accusations, well, as I say, they are just doing the will of their father.
