Nope. Not wrong. The Catholic insistence on worshipping Mary is Heresy. She was married and had children. Why is that so hard for Catholics to accept? The Jews considered having children the pinnacle of womanhood. Mary was a Jew. Joseph took her as his wife, there is no way he would not have had children with her.

If Catholics worshiped Mary I would agree with you but we don’t. Have you ever gone to a Catholic Mass other than a wedding or a funeral?

Catholics will deny with their dying breath that they don't worship Mary.

Aside from being reduced to semantics about what worship is, the hair splitting they engage in, they are breaking the second commandment in fact. They have made a graven image and they bow down to it.

Then instead of the subjective internal issue of whether what they are doing is worship, one can look at the objective acts in which one can see them actually participating.

Exodus 20:4-6 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
