No one “worships” the Blessed Mother. The Catholic bishops were not worshipping her. They were praying for Divine intercession.

Then why not pray directly to the Lord? The line is open; why go through an intermediary when the Lord has given his children a direct line to Jesus and the Father?
Let's try some easy math:
There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;
If merely 1% of them 'ask' Mary for help just once each day;
that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.
Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)
...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!
Purty good fer someone NOT 'divine'!
