I tell the traditional Christians that worshipping saints is not good; you have to worship God. The Evangelicals are teaching her some truth and some ignorance at the same time. They have convinced her that veneration is adoration. It is a shame that some Christian denominations choose to believe that some of us worship saints. These saints fought the good fight and they are our heroes. We try to immolate them as they had the same trials and tribulations that we have.
Adoration is for Christ alone!

Joan of Arc was immolated. You would want to emulate the Saints. Not to nitpick, I agree with you about veneration not necessarily being the same as worship. I venerate George Washington in much the same way.

Perhaps you meant that you try to
emulate the saints.
"immolate" means to kill or offer as a sacrifice.
Emulate the saints ? Really ?
