Can Mary hear and answer prayers from all Catholics, all over the world at once?

Let's clarify something once and for all. Repeat after me: "Catholics do NOT worship Mary!".

"Idolatry not only refers to false pagan worship. It remains a constant temptation to faith. Idolatry consists in divinizing what is not God. Man commits idolatry whenever he honors and reveres a creature in place of God. . . . Idolatry rejects the unique Lordship of God; it is therefore incompatible with communion with God" (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2113, cf. 2110–2112, 2114).

Now if I catch you making this mistake again, you will be asked to write that sentence on the blackboard, 100 times.
