[ealgeone]

Venerate - Latin veneratus, past participle of venerari, from vener-, venus love, charm Synonyms - adore, deify, glorify, revere, reverence, worship [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/venerate]

Christians recognize Mary for what she did and who she was.

The Bible notes she will count her blessed for all generations. In the Greek, this is in the future tense.

All generations do count her blessed.

However, Christians do not "venerate" Mary like catholicism does. Catholicism, though probably well intended, has crossed the line between the Biblical injunction of counting Mary as blessed to full fledged worship.

Exactly.
