Debate: Trent Horn vs Steve Christie (Marian dogmas)

Show us the official teaching of the Catholic Church where we have deified anyone but God.
Just because it is not an official teaching doesn't mean that is the end of it. When you make Marian doctrines an essential for salvation, then you are making her a goddess. When you make statues of her and pray to her (which no apostle ever did) you are making her a goddess. The lightening of candles and putting flowers in front of her statues is making her a goddess.

If it looks like worship of an idol, then it is worshipping an idol. ACTIONS speak louder than words, which RCs do not seem to comprehend.
 
Catholics haven't deified anyone but God.
the word "pray" means to request of of a deity EVERY SINGLE TIME proseuchomai is used in the New Testament!!!!

Pray
(4336) (proseuchomai from pros = toward, facing, before [emphasizing the direct approach of the one who prays in seeking God’s face] + euchomai = originally to speak out, utter aloud, express a wish, then to pray or to vow. Greek technical term for invoking a deity) in the NT is always used of prayer addressed to God (to Him as the object of faith and the One who will answer one’s prayer) and means to speak consciously (with or without vocalization) to Him, with a definite aim.​

Prove me wrong!!
 
You didn't directly answer the question as usual. Do you PRAY to Mary or any of the saints? Tell us how you go about asking for intercessions. What does that mean and why is it necessary. You have three things to address here. Can you do it?
They do indeed pray to Mary, asking for her to intercede for them!

Is talking and praying to any but God violating the command not to speak to the dead?
 
Aside from the "role" that God gave her of birthing the prophesied Savior as being a notable exception, Mary did not stand apart from the crowd as Roman Catholicism continually tries to purport worldwide. Roman Catholicism encourages their religious group of followers that ascribe to their teachings, to erroneously think that Mary was some kind of Biblical superhuman - then and now. They put her graven images on pedestals instilling in the minds of their deceived followers their need to "look up" to her. It's obvious how disillusioned Roman Catholics are, but is Almighty God so easily impressed?
Mothers do more than just "birth".
