Well certainly not Catholics:>).
There has been a substitution of Mary for Jesus, in the work of salvation, and to pray to in times of need. The impression is that Mary will listen, but God is cold and unapproachable. Mary will grant wishes, when God might reject them. That somehow God is bound by the will of Mary.
One gets the impression that salvation is obtained from Mary and God will rubberstamp her decisions.(co redeemer)
In the Catholic scripture the book of Baruch, , there is a description of the pagan practices of the Babylonians, who at the time held the Jews in captivity.
Baruch 6:3 But now, you shall see in Babylon gods of gold, and of silver, and of stone, and of wood borne upon the shoulders, causing fear to the Gentiles.
Baruch 6:4 Beware therefore that you imitate not the doings of others, and be afraid, and the fear of them should seize upon you.
Baruch 6:5 But when you see the multitude behind, and before, adoring them, say you in your hearts: Thou oughtest to be adored, O Lord.
Baruch 6:6 For my angel is with you: And I myself will demand an account of your souls.
Baruch 6:7 For their tongue that is polished by the craftsman, and themselves laid over with gold and silver, are false things, and they cannot speak.
Baruch 6:8 And as if it were for a maiden that loveth to go gay: so do they take gold and make them up.
Baruch 6:9 Their gods have golden crowns upon their heads; whereof the priests secretly convey away from them gold, and silver, and bestow it on themselves.
It was the practice of the pagan Babylonians to crown the statues of their gods.Note the crown on Mary's head

Exd 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:
Exd 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;
