"...the worship of Mary, the idols of Mary... are current practices in the RCC."

They are not. And, if you have normal reading comprehension, you've been amply corrected and you know that. That's what makes this kind of discussion so tedious, sometimes.

Or comical, if you kind of tilt your head and squint.

Idol of Mary, plus idols of angels, pagan nobility and livestock, as worshiped in a Baptist church, Tennessee, USA, Christmas, 2016

I sincerely doubt that you or anyone else saw Baptists kneeling before their little Christmas creche, or praying to it, lighting candles before it or leaving flowers and other offerings.

I don't think you'd find folks in that church kneeling before the mgr scene and praying to those idols nor invoking the names of the idols to aid in their salvation.

Nice try though.

The practices of the average Catholic disagree with your statement. The voluminous writings of Catholics on this also disagree with you.

There is a poster on these threads with more than one example of Catholics kneeling before the idols of Mary. I'm not going to ping them because we don't need to go down that road today.
