Not only are you beating a dead horse, but you’re beating the wrong dead horse. There’s only one possible and rational explanation:
No dead horse at all. The idols of Mary in practically every RCC church and possibly home say otherwise.

Some Catholics even take their idolatry to another level.
Some catholics even admit to wearing the Miraculous Medal and the scapular.
The medal is promoting a false teaching that Mary was conceived without sin which is not supported by Scripture to which the Catholic Encyclopedia online admits. The message on the medal:
"O Mary! conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee! 1830"

Mary was a sinner, as we all are, and did sin. If not, Paul would have carved out an exception for her in Romans. But he didn't.
The Scapular makes this false promise:
Whosoever dies clothed in this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire.”

There is NOTHING in the NT that supports this lie. Nothing.
The picture on page 7 of the above website is typical of how Mary and Jesus are depicted in Roman Catholic art.
Mary is seated on a throne and a little Jesus is on her lap.
Two angels are at the foot of the throne.
Everything in this image shows Mary to be superior to Jesus.

Additional images of Catholics and their worship of Mary.
If one believes the apparitions of Mary they will believe the false promises of the apparition as well.
One of these is a blanket promise that is counter to the NT:
You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.
Another false promise of the Rosary is this one:
The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.
No where in the OT or NT are we ever to recommend ourselves to Mary. No where.

We only find salvation through faith in Christ. No one else.
These are just some of the many reasons why Christians reject the RCC teachings regarding Mary.
You will of course deny it. But the evidence is in plain sight.
