[Salvation]

Catholics do NOT worship Mary as the mother of Jesus, second person of the Holy Trinity. We ask her to pray for us. It’s only respect/veneration.....much as you might respect your own mother.

Nonsense.

Do you kneel before an idol of your mom?

Do you light incense before said idol of your mom?

Do you pray to your mom?

Do you rely upon your mom for salvation?

Have you assigned to your mom the titles of advocatrix, mediatrix, auxilatrix?

In terms of actual Church teaching and dogma you are 100% correct.

In terms of actual practice of millions of Catholics you could not be more wrong. Mary worship goes on all the time, particularly amongst older Catholics, and the Church does little to rebut it.
