“I’m not aware of any Orthodox or Catholic teaching that Mary is a goddess”

rcc’s pray to Mary and their god
rcc’s bow to Mary and their god
rcc’s kneel to Mary and their god
rcc’s offer sacrifice to Mary and their god
rcc’s serve Mary and their god
rcc’s get grace from Mary and from their god

And service is also included in the commandment thou shall not worship or serve other gods.

So, it seems to me by your writing that you mistakenly think Mary and Jesus are false gods/idols, or would you like to walk some of it back ?

Here is my take:

Catholics love, honor, venerate, and talk to Mary because they believe she is alive in heaven with Jesus, and they believe Jesus loves her and delights in her so that is she joins their prayers to hers it will help them. Mary is the queen mother, which is the mother of the legitimate king.

People who hate have essentially lost their way.
