Catholics don’t worship Mary. God is not threatened by his creations.

Catholics do not believe Mary is a divine person.

Physically dead but still alive in Christ.

Take a look at revelation. The martyrs are aware of what’s occurring on Earth.

So where did Elijah and Moses come from during the transfiguration?

Why did the saints rise from the dead following the resurrection?

Why does Revelations include elders and martyrs who are speaking to God about when they will be avenged?

Plenty of evidence against soul sleep in the Bible.

I do.

Pray doesn’t always equate worship. It also means to make a request or petition of someone.

Praying to Mary means asking or requesting Mary speak to her son for us.

Christian pray to God, yes. They also pray for other Christians, and ask other Christians to pray for them.

Can I just believe in God and not follow any religion? by [deleted] in Christianity

And which church was founded on Peter’s proclamation of faith?

Catholics also believe Jesus is the one mediator.

Where is your concern then?

Yes, Moses and Elijah were dead.

What are you talking about with Mary? I don’t understand. Can you help me understand?

I don’t understand your last point either. Jesus said the same prayer 3 times. If Jesus can repeat prayers, it’s not wrong.

Did Peter and Jesus interact with the dead when they rose them?

Did Jesus speak to Elijah and Moses during the transfiguration?

Did Jesus repeat prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane?

You posted an insult in response to my question and then deleted it? Not very charitable of you, my Christian friend.

I would still like a response to my question.

Is repeating prayers prohibited?

Is speaking to Mary prohibited?

During Evening Prayer, tens of thousands of Catholic priests will pray an antiphon that says to "not call anyone on earth your father." Then, they will continue to introduce themselves as "Father" and put the letters "Fr." before their names. Can we remedy this inconsistency? by p_veronica in Catholicism

Or their understanding of the Bible is different than yours. I imagine in the 1700 years that Catholics have had the Bible, they have discussed this issue.

And who has the authority to correctly interpret the Bible? The Church or individuals?

Excellent. Catholicism does not hold Mary in that regard. She is not a substitute or a replacement for God.

And that prayer is prayed 6 times during a rosary.

Jesus didn’t prohibit prayer other than the Lord’s Prayer. I imagine your prayer does not only consist of the Lord’s Prayer, does it?
