The point is they worship Mary when God says to worship Him.


I would think you need to look at this deeper. They don't worship Mary or ANY of
the Saints. Respect, admiration, love, etc are all most likely quite
permissible. God Himself can be the ONLY object of worship. The statues,
pictures and icons in all those churches serve only as an aid towards focusing
one's thoughts and are never used as idolatrous objects. That would be against
everything they teach.

Some people may pray to Mary as means of trying to get an inside track to the
Almighty with a petition for individual favours or something. I can safely write
that attempt off as human arrogance.
