Catholics do NOT worship Mary. Instead we ask her to pray for us.

Haven’t you ever asked anyone to pray for you?

“Instead we ask her to pray for us.
Haven’t you ever asked anyone to pray for you?”

OK, I appreciate that may be the official position of the Catholic church. And that may be how it is for you. But there are many, many instances where that is not so. Read on this thread for a few examples of direct idolatry.

But also, do you not see how that is praying anyway? You are praying to her to ask that she prays for you? What is your example/reference/support for doing that? Yes I have asked people to pray for me, but not dead people!!!!

(But primarily, I would still rather focus on what we have in common, and believe that we either hang together or shall assuredly hang seperately)

Yes. But they are all alive.
