"What do you mean by venerate?

I don’t think it means what you think it means"

Yes, perhaps that was not strong enough. Perhaps I should have said "worship". This from pope JPII when he was in Cherry Creek Park, Denver:

"With my heart full of praise for the Queen of Heaven, the sign of hope and source of comfort on our pilgrimage of faith to the heavenly Jerusalem, I greet all of you who are present at this solemn liturgy...This liturgy presents you, Mary, as the woman clothed with the sun...O woman clothed with the sun...the youth of the world greet you with so much love...In Mary the final victory of life over death is already a reality...O Mary...as Mother of the Church, you guide us from your place in heaven and...help us to increase in holiness by conquering sin."

You are right...this tripe sounds like prayer and worship to a false god. Run, don't walk, from Rome my FRiend.

I’m not seeing the word worship in there

You can search the catechism and tradition as well as the bible from which catholicism is based btw. But you will not find pne reference to worhipping Mary

She made victory over death possible through agreeing to cooperate with God’s will and bear Jesus

It’s really not a problem

Be careful. The enemy hates and fears her more than any person anyone. So you know you don’t really want to side with that
