Back when I was in grad school, one of my professors spoke of the concept of Mariolatry. In my area, years ago, higher-ups the Catholic Church actually came in to stop instances of it among Vietnamese Catholics who had immigrated here.

I haven't heard members of my family talk about it, but I think they'd say Catholics generally worship Mary as a deity if asked.
