Then the focus of the worship was to honor Mary. That is NOT why we worship Jesus! We worship Jesus because He alone is worthy of worship. We don't USE Him to honor ANYONE. Human beings don't deserve that kind of attention or honor.

AND, As I’ve seen in about every congregation I’ve been in
even fairly normal, innocuous courtesy honors can build up and spiritually destroy both the honoree and those doing the honoring.
