We pray for the intercession of Mary and the saints and angels, but they do not worship.   Let me see ... A Catholic church has about 5 or 6 songs (at most) sung. It takes about 15 minutes of our Mass. One of the songs * can * be a Mass for Mary normal is around 3 days of the year that we give more attention to Mary that normally, but God is never more.   That leaves 45 minutes of the Mass:   - We come in, and pray to God for the forgiveness of our sins.   - Listen to the readings (a reading of the Old Testament, New Testament, a reading and a Gospel reading)   - Sing Psalms (ie between the first and second reading and the Gospel and the second reading)   - A homily given   - We ask God, to God.   - We are in the path of consecration   - We are on our knees in prayer to God.   - We stand and recite the Lord's Prayer   - We are on our knees in prayer once again   - We receive the Eucharist   - We pray more   - We say a closing prayer and closed with another song about the goodness of God and we go.   I've been Catholic for 11 years. The only time "to spend time with Mary church singing" Christmas is over and is on the birth of Christ and, therefore, Mary is part of the song, the Assumption of Mary (usually only one or two songs) and the Immaculate Conception.   That's it.   We are Christians. A Christian is someone who follows Jesus Christ and believes that it is Lord and Savior, that we do.   You will not violate Christianity if they sing about Mary. You are confusing it with prayer and song of worship. To pray means "ask" and nothing else. All worship is prayer, but not all prayer is worship. Singing songs of worship is not so much.   If we are so horrible and obviously not a Christian, then do not go to Catholic mass First, only the worship of God and Jesus Christ.
