I'm still totally confused how it is the Mormons even entered into this discussion. What the Mormons believe is no more relevant than what the Muslims or Hindus believe. American Indians talk about "mother earth", are we somehow to infer that their beliefs are somehow similar to Catholicism's?

Queen of Heaven, Heavenly Mother. Oh just that they are almost identical. If you google them you see that Mormons are more quick to use the word worship, RC's cleverly avoid that word.

In the various "Messiah" traditions found in Hinduism, the part of Mary is played by a woman who is more like Martha. Still, she has millions of devotees.

The parallels are incredible.
