The idols of Mary, the kneeling before these idols and praying to the image it represents, the candles lit in her honor, the prayers to Mary, etc, etc, etc....all say the Roman catholic worships Mary.

I always thought those were votive candles ...

“there is evidence that lit candles or oil lamps were burned at the tombs of saints, particularly martyrs, by the 200s”

I can’t say I understand votive candles, but I see nothing wrong with them. They’re optional.
