Why is Mary Crying?

Near a billion Roman Catholics have been told to apply the attributes of God (Sinless, Omnipresent, etc.) to Mary; it's claimed to be reverence, but the Bible calls it blasphemy & idolatry.

Rome: "Mary is a mediator”.

Bible:

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; - 1 Tim. 2:5 (Heb. 7:25; 1 Jn. 2:1) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. - Acts 4:12

Rome: "She was a perpetual virgin”.

Bible:

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: ...JESUS. - Matt. 1:25 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. - Galatians 1:19 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? - Mark 6:3 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children. For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; - Psalm 69:8-9 (This prophecy is applied to Jesus in John 2:17.)

Rome: "Mary was sinless”.

She said she needed salvation: “And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." - Luke 1:47 
Her sins had to be atoned for (Lk. 2:22/Lev. 12:6)
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" - Romans 3:23
Jesus only lived sinless (2 Cor. 5:21).

Jesus rebukes a Mary idolater:

"And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of  God, and keep it." - Luke 11:27-28

Rome: Prayer to/with Mary & dead saints.

Nowhere in the Bible are we told to pray to anyone other then God (Jn. 14:13; Eph 5:20). The Bible nowhere encourages, or even mentions, believers asking individuals in heaven for their prayers. Contacting the dead is forbidden (Deut. 18:10-13). Even if the dead is a saint (1 Sam. 28:7-19; 1 Ch. 10:13).

Rome: Statues/Idols.

Bible: ”Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:" - Exodus 20:4,5 (See also: Isaiah 42:8; Psalm 115:4-9)

Rome: "She is blessed among women (Lk. 1:42)!" 

Bible: Because she believed & was fortunate to birth Jesus (Lk. 1:45, 11:27-28), it says nothing of her being a "sinless co-redeemer mediatrix". Jael was "blessed above women"(Judg. 5:24).

Rome: "We don't worship Mary, we venerate her." 

Bible: Prayer, singing to, bowing/kneeling before, burning incense/candles to and giving praise/glory religiously is worship and only reserved for God (Isa. 42:8; Psa. 66:4, 95:6, 141:2).

Rome: "Revelation 12 is speaking of Mary." 

Bible: It's Israel (Gen. 37:9-10).

Rome: "Mary is the mother of God." 

Bible: She gave birth to Jesus in his humanity. She did not give birth to God. God was never born (Rev. 1:8; Psa. 90:2).  

Rome: "Mary is the queen of Heaven." 

Bible: The "queen of Heaven" is a demon goddess (Jer. 7:17-19).
