--Mary is assumed into Heaven without any mention of death.
--Mary was crowned as the Queen of Heaven.

And what about all the various names for her?

--Our Lady of Sorrows
--Mary Queen of the Universe
--Our Lady of Guadalupe

etc. etc.

Catholicism can call it praise all they want. As I see it, it's hero worship...virtual deification.
I'm not that vehement about it that I'd actually want to argue...

"Virtual deification" isn't really the same as actually calling her "god," is it, now?
