No there isn't.
Mary is treated the same by Catholics and considered actually MORE sympathetic towards people than God/Jesus is.
Catholics pray to both Mary and God.
Catholics bow before images of both Mary and God.
Catholics capitalize the names of both Mary and God, something that is supposed to be reserved for Deity only.
Catholics claims that Mary was without sin, as was Jesus.
Catholics teach that Mary answers prayer as God does.
Catholics consecrate themselves to Mary, something I don't see encouraged or mentioned concerning Jesus.
Speaking for myself, I do not treat Mary and God/Jesus the same. It may appear that some Christians who are Catholic do, but those that do are not following the teachings of God through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, nor are they following the teachings of the Church.
May the Peace of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with you.

No, we don't consider anyone more sympathetic to people than God/Jesus.
God is "love and mercy itself", we pray.
When we pray to Mary we are asking her to pray to God for us, which is not the same way we pray to God when in the Mass we sing the Gloria where we praise, bless, adore, and glorify Him.
I have already covered the bowing thing in a prevous post.
All proper names are capitalized in English (except for people like e e cummings), and so are proper titles, such as President Trump. No worship is implied.
Catholics claim that Mary was preserved from sin through God's grace, not through her own power--as the angel Gabriel says, she was "full of grace" (Luke 1:28) even before Jesus was conceived in her womb.
We teach that Mary can answer prayers by praying to God for us; we do not teach that she can answer them on her own.
On consecrating ourselves to Jesus, I have already mentioned the Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in a previous post; and the Consecration to Jesus through Mary is also a consecration to Jesus.
I think that catches me up on all your posts to me.
