if we changed the word from "venerate" to "pay respects" to Saint Paul would you be cool with it?

If God is no respecter of persons, why should we be? Does the glory and honor of Paul's mission go to God or to Paul. Paul would not take any credit for God's work.

To God! That's what we are saying. Did you see this in #115 - ...is a special act of honoring a dead person who has been identified as singular in the traditions of the religion, and through them honoring God who made them and in whose image they are made.

just as keeping the commandment to "honor your father and mother" honors God.
