Man the Creator?

So, tonight I was reading "In the Beginning...", Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger's book on understanding the Genesis story on the creation and fall of man when I came across this:

"There will no longer be any need for the sabbath, since human beings are their own creators in every respect."

Veneration of Mary

Many non-Catholics object to Catholic devotion to Mary based on the fact that Catholic's "worship" Mary and only God should be worshiped. They have other objections to the Marian dogmas and devotions as well, but I'll address those in separate posts. Today, I just want to focus on the idea that Catholics worship Mary elevating her to the level of God.
