Catholics Are Confusing

When I searched on the internet for Hail Mary the top result was Hail Mary pass. Once again, I blame Tim Tebow.

Are Catholics breaking their own rules when they say the Hail Mary prayer?

Merriam-Webster defines prayer as: "an address (as a petition) to God or a god in word or thought".

Wikipedia says: "In Christianity, worship is reverent honor and homage paid to God. 

One of the Ten Commandments is: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

I think that praying to Mary is sacrilege and blasphemy. The Catholic Church thinks otherwise. They always seem to give themselves an out somehow. The Intercession of Saints comes to the rescue, and makes praying to saints hunky dory.
