I don’t believe official church doctrine requires worship of Mary, but it is hard not to find fault with titles such as “Scott Hahn’s book “Hail, Holy Queen””.

I realise that “Hail, Holy Queen”, is the author’s title, not a missive from the Church.

Why?? Christ is the continuation and fulfillment of God's promise to KING David that "his line would reign forever". Mary is the Mother of Christ. In eastern kingdoms (including Judea), the reigning queen was NOT the King's wife, but the King's MOTHER. So, yes, Mary "is" Queen. So Hahn is correct, both historically and biblically.

And Hahn covers all this in his book, which, since you appear not to know the above, I assume you have not actually read, but are criticizing anyway.

Read True Devotion To Mary by St. Louis De Montfort. Described by Pope John Paul II as the most important book he had ever read and you'll gain a perspective how some may wonder whether the line between "reverence" and "worship" has been crossed.
