Ebb tide, arguing that a Christian prayer service in a Catholic parish wasn't offered to God is your desperate semantic game.
Every Catholic liturgy, prayer service, and veneration of a saint is offered to the Holy Trinity. Claiming a prayer service inside Holy Cross Catholic Church wasn't directed to the Trinity because a brief news summary didn't print those exact words is absurd.
Media articles summarize events using brief, secular language. Catholic theology evaluates events by their ecclesial context and intent. A Catholic saint's feast day celebrated in a Catholic sanctuary under the authority of a Catholic bishop is, by definition, directed to the God of the Catholic Church.
Demanding that a news snippet explicitly spell out basic Catholic Catechism concepts just to avoid being called a "lie" shows you have run out of theological arguments. What's your next attempt at whatabouttery?

It wasn't a Catholic liturgy. It was a pagan ceremony invoking "spirits" from the four corners of the compass and the Holy Trinity was never mentioned.
You can't make up stuff like you do and get away with it.
You're ruining your what little credibility you have left.

Horse-hockey!
Anything goes in the synodal church.

It linked to a diocesan article; no mention of the Holy Trinity there either. You just decided to embellish it with a lie.

A Catholic pope, the Vicar of Christ, by definition is not to worship false gods.
But it happens.
