As a Catholic who grew up with the Latin Mass I don’t recall being taught to ‘worship’ her. Honor, yes. If God made her special, shouldn’t we consider her so?
I’m sure you weren’t taught it’s worship as that would go against the Bible. Roman Catholics have to change the terms to make it ok. If you’re kneeling before idols of Mary,’praying to her, relying upon her for answered prayers and salvation you’re worshipping her.
Don’t waste your time with that poster. He trolls Catholic threads looking to instigate arguments about Mary. I tried having a reasonable conversation about this on another thread but all he wants to do is prove that Catholics are heretics for praying to Mary.
