Did someone remove the part about bearing false witness against your neighbor from the Bible? No Catholic ever could or would worship Mary ( that would be idolatry! ) since she is not God and is a created human being. Catholic doctrine teaches only God ( Father, Son and Holy Spirit ) can be worshipped. I am sure an apology will now be offered.

Many many Christians do not get the distinction between ‘worship’ and ‘adore’. I’m not a Catholic yet I have studied Mary enough that I adore her for her grace. I would never worship Mary ... and she would advise against such blasphemy. But many will not catch that distinction.

Only one more reply to you...

Catholics pray to dead people, including Mary—that’s a fact. Mary, and the other dead in Christ are asleep until the end when the dead in Christ will rise, and they couldn’t answer prayers even if they weren’t currently asleep. Worshiping or adoring—praying to someone is quite worshipful. Praying to someone other than God is misguided at best and idolatry at worst.

I’m done with this fruitless conversation. You go ahead and have all the last words you like.
