>>Who's worshipping Mary? Not me, and I don't know any Catholics who do<<

If this isn’t worshiping Mary I don’t know what is.

Prayer of Pope Pius XII

Enraptured by the splendor of your heavenly beauty, and impelled by the anxieties of the world, we cast ourselves into your arms, O Immaculate Mother of Jesus and our Mother, Mary, confident of finding in your most loving heart appeasement of our ardent desires, and a safe harbor from the tempests which beset us on every side.

Though degraded by our faults and overwhelmed by infinite misery, we admire and praise the peerless richness of sublime gifts with which God has filled you, above every other mere creature, from the first moment of your conception until the day on which, after your assumption into heaven, He crowned you Queen of the Universe.

O crystal fountain of faith, bathe our minds with the eternal truths! O fragrant Lily of all holiness, captivate our hearts with your heavenly perfume! O Conqueress of evil and death, inspire in us a deep horror of sin, which makes the soul detestable to God and a slave of hell!

O well-beloved of God, hear the ardent cry which rises up from every heart. Bend tenderly over our aching wounds. Convert the wicked, dry the tears of the afflicted and oppressed, comfort the poor and humble, quench hatreds, sweeten harshness, safeguard the flower of purity in youth, protect the holy Church, make all men feel the attraction of Christian goodness. In your name, resounding harmoniously in heaven, may they recognize that they are brothers, and that the nations are members of one family, upon which may there shine forth the sun of a universal and sincere peace.

Receive, O most sweet Mother, our humble supplications, and above all obtain for us that, one day, happy with you, we may repeat before your throne that hymn which today is sung on earth around your altars: You are all-beautiful, O Mary! You are the glory, you are the joy, you are the honor of our people! Amen.

“O Conqueress of evil and death” So Mary conquered evil and death? Blasphemy, pure blasphemy.

“You are the glory, you are the joy, you are the honor of our people!” Mary? Not Jesus? Another pure blasphemy.

It's hyperbolic, you probably feel it's a bit over the top, but it's still not worship. Even as rhapsodic as Pius XII becomes (he was a very ardent and emotional man - and a very good one too. He saved hundreds of thousands of Jews from the Nazis), note that everything is done by God to and for Mary - God fills her with His gifts, God grants her the privilege of bearing His son.

Mary having free will, she had the power to say "No." By assenting to God's plan, "Be it done unto me according to Thy word," she did put into motion the conquest of sin and death. Had she refused, the Incarnation would not have occurred - at least not then and in that way.

So yes, she is our glory (note: not God's glory nor the "glory of the holy archangels" - a title reserved to Christ) -- she is the human being who facilitated our salvation. So we praise her as the crown of humanity -- her Son, far above her, is both perfect God and perfect man. But she is one of us, and she bore Him.
