If you're only venerating Christ, you aren't giving him the worship of latria to which he is entitled as God incarnate.
Now according to the RCC this infallible Gospel must be truth. If that is what it is, then according to what Luke himself wrote this Gospel is all that Luke could find about the life and teachings of Christ, and it should be all that one needs for salvation.
??? You also believe that Luke's Gospel is truth, do you not? So do you believe that the Gospel of Luke is "all that one needs for salvation"? "Luke alone"?
Luke didn't say it contained all truth, or all truth concerning Mary, or all truth needed for salvation. He said he diligently gathered it together that Theophilus might know the exact truth concerning that which he had been taught. That's all.
But many in the past fell for the various heresies.
We call them "Protestants".
Does this mean those old moldy heresies are right? No. Just means people really do not change, and those that are not strong in the Scripture fall for such.
There are plenty of people who are fine Scripture scholars in the Catholic church, and some of them are ex-Protestants. The Protestant conceit that nobody who knows Scripture can be a Catholic is just that: a conceit.
Now it is true that nobody who accepts one of the various Protestant theological systems as truth can be a Catholic, but to equate any Protestant theological system with "knowledge of Scripture" per se is precisely to beg the question.

Conceit? I want you to answer the question of Luke 1. If you cannot, please speak not to me of conceit. I do not claim to have the only true church, the only true interpretation of scripture, the infallible leader and teacher for all Christianity; that is the RCC that does that.
The same RCC that allows the enemy to continue to kill our unborn, much as Herod and Pharoah did. Has the Pope excommunicated the pro-abortion Catholics yet? I keep hearing that it is coming, but I fear the Pope knows that they will just run to some liberal protestant heresy rather than listen to his authority. And this is the true church of Jesus? I shudder at the claim!
