When the very Church founded by Christ and guided to this day by the Holy Spirit calls Mary the Queen of Heaven it is all to the Glory of God. What pagan has ever thought otherwise?
Zeus was supposedly pleased by prayers and offerings to Hera.
All idolatry is the same -- a worship of the creature instead of the Creator.

Again, who cares? The Catholic Church teaches veneration for Mary Mother of God, and prohibits worship of anyone but God. There is no idolatry in that.
