This is why Christians say catholics worship Mary.
Quite a list you have there. Do you understand that Catholic Christians would look at this same list and say that we do not worship Mary?
Outward actions do not determine whether one is venerating or adoring. It is what is in the heart.
Catholics are in a better position to know what they mean by their actions than those who observe those actions. If you want to know what we mean by our actions, ask us. But don’t tell us we are worshiping Mary when we know in our hearts that we are not worshiping Mary. You cannot possibly know.
May the peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with you.

I went to a Catholic high school. I could not say for certain what all the other 500 students believed. I can only say why I believed. I worshipped Mary, but I don't really know if anyone else did. I don't recall ever talking about it. This was a ton of years ago, so we may have talked about it, I just don't recall.
I do know, that I was SO ignorant, I didn't even know there was such a thing as the book of Revelation, let alone whatever else was in the scriptures.

You cannot possibly know.I don't think so...Doesn't matter what's in your heart...You have been conditioned to worship Mary while calling it something else...

Catholics are in a better position to know what they mean by their actions than those who observe those actions. Your book says:
1 Thessalonians 5:22
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
We non-Catholics 'observe' an awful lot of time wasted with Mary, when you could be dealing DIRECTLY with GOD.
