honor: high respect, as for worth, merit, or rank: to be held in honor.

Do you see no difference between the words honor and venerate?

This is what the Church teaches, like it or not. The poster thought that we have a contradictory doctrine about the salvific nature of the Holy Eucharist; we do not.

Yes, I do. While we merely honor our parents, we venerate Mary as well as honor her. "All generations will call me blessed".
