How many times do we have to mention “dulia”, “hyperdulia”, and “latria”, and how they are distinguished from each other? Certain posters cannot be deprived of their intentional poverty of language surrounding the English word “worship”. It is a matter of ill will, not intellect.
But getting back to the topic at hand,... maybe the Catholics in Venezuela turning to Mary in prayer, reciting the Rosary, going to mass and confession, doing public penance, maybe a victory here would go a long way to exemplify the power of prayer?
As Catholics belonging to the Communion of Saints, we can join the Venezuelans in prayer and penance.
Our sacrificial love is divine insofar as we are part of the Mystical Body of Christ. He is the trunk and we are the branches, He is the head and we are His members.
Please pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ, that they might escape the scourge of communism in Venezuela, that freedom and justice will be theirs.
How many times do we have to mention that dulia, hyperdulia and latria are not New Testament concepts but Roman Catholic concepts to justify the worship of Mary?
There is nothing in the NT suggesting we ever bow before an idol of a created thing and pray before it nor rely upon it for prayers or salvation.
Is the faith of the Roman Catholic so weak they have to appeal to an idol of the created thing?
Remember Number 11!!!
Pray that Rosary HARDER!!!
