As to your last sentence-—I agree—in the understanding that all praise, veneration, worship. glory and kneeling is directed to, in and with The Lord of Lords, Christ Jesus. Then why do you venerate Mary and kneel to saints and praise "another Christ?"

Then why do you venerate Mary and kneel to saints and praise "another Christ?" The term alter Christus does not mean what you imply. The Catholic Church does not claim each priest is some fresh messiah equal to Christ.

Your “question” to me is framed as a verifiable fact and I see no reason to answer it as if it were..
One other time, when you required an answer from me about this, I replied to you that I was convinced that you already know the answer.
