Looky!! I found a man, a Pope no less, who uses the word "worship" concerning Mary. By your cockamamie logic it becomes a dogma. Right? The word "worship" had different connotations when Pius X wrote that. Can you show that he meant that Mary was to be given the same honor and position as God? That is what we mean by the word today, but does that thought exist in the writing of Pius X??? Context will help you when you read writings from men who are not living in our age and use words differently than we do.

Of course not. I fully expected it would be recognized as a facetious statement meant to illustrate the foolishness of cherrypicking the statements or writings of a man, any man, and attempting to classify it as dogma.
Discernment would be helpful for you when reading what and why I made that, or any similar, post.
