"Hyperdulia" was a "smoke" distinction invented by Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, A.D. 1270, to define the distinction between the "worship" of Jesus and the "worship" of Mary.

Thanks, I learned something new today.

You learned that in 1270, about 250 years before Luther, Thomas Aquinas invented a term to confuse the issue about the worship paid to God and the worship paid to a creature -- why? So that 250 years later we Catholics would have something to say to non-Catholics to deny (falsely, it goes without saying) the charge that we pay Mary divine honors?

I don't get it.

I'm not surprised.
