The Bible does not ask Catholics or Christians to “worship” Mary, but to esteem her as the Mother Jesus Christ, true God and true man.
I’m sorry for you that such esteem is lacking — or at least that’s the way it seems to me.
Catholics worship only God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Where are you getting ideas about worshipping Mary?
Maybe a pamphlet? Maybe some preacher who hates Catholics?
I hear Catholics praying to Saint this and Saint that. I hear them saying “Hail Mary”.
Those are dead humans. They cannot hear you. They are not divine. But those are the human ancestors you name your temples for.
You guys spend more time praying to and talking about the background characters than the star of the show.
“esteem”?
I have esteem for George Washington.
Catholics worship Mary.
Book, chapter and verse, please.
Where are you getting ideas about worshipping Mary?
Probably from watching people bowing to her statues, lighting candles to her, praying to her, just for starters.
I don't suppose many of the comments daniel has posted showing the the church hierarchy's deification of her helps the matter either.
