In Catholicism and in Orthodoxy there is a difference between the Worship owed God alone (which includes adoration, sacrifice and I forget the other) Latria and that which is the reverence and devotion given to the Blessed Virgin, Hyperdulia and that given to the Saints, Dulia.

Only in the Catholic mind.

It's more like being sort of pregnant, but you're still pregnant.

And it's still worship.

Only in the minds of the deluded bigots who cluster like maggots on rotting flesh telling the Catholic faithful and each other lies about what Catholics believe. For those poor deluded souls, and for the satanic pagans who sometimes haunt these faux debates, whatever the One True Church does is hateful. It becomes just noise.

metmom. Not only in the Catholic mind but in the practices and teachings of the early Church. You don’t offer sacrifice so you don’t have Latria. We do. Stp trying to tell me what Catholic’s believe and practice.
