She is a CREATURE, and therefore, unworthy of the adoration due to the God. In fact, the Byzantine liturgy of both the Eastern Orthodox and the Byzantine Eastern Catholics acknowledges the fact that she is a creature, and yet, higher than the angels:

"It is truly right to bless you, Theotokos, ever blessed, most pure, and mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim, without corruption you gave birth to God the Word. We magnify you, the true Theotokos."

That’s right, Catholics don’t worship Mary. If you worship Mary you get get kicked out.

Venerate, yes. Love filially, yes. Offer intercessory prayers to, yes. Worship, no.
