The words are very similar. Worship IS a form of celebration.

True enough. Worship is a form of celebration. Worship is also reverent love, it is honor, and more. Not all celebration is worship. For example, birthday celebrations are not worship, yet they are celebrations.

[PetroniusMaximus]

"Not all celebration is worship. For example, birthday celebrations are not worship, yet they are celebrations."

And the Church's mission is the celebration of Christ.

To pursue some watered down exhaltation of "beauty" is to play into the hands of the world.

I'm having a Boolean moment:

Some celebration is worship.
Some worship is celebration.

Not all worship is celebration.
Not all celebration is worship.

Neither is a subset or superset of the other.

Therefore, it cannot be said that celebration equals worship (not honestly anyway).

Here's a Venn diagram (celebration=a, worship=b).

True. Touchdown celebrations are not worship either, except at Notre Dame.
