Like worship of Mary and the “saints”?

Please tell me you know the difference between "worship" and "venerate". It seem very apparent you don't, and Kosta, Kolokotronis and a bunch of my Roman Catholic brothers in Christ have explained it to you folks at least 6 different times in the last year here. Come on already. Don't make me explain it again. Surely you're not so soft that you can't retain this information. You're not a gnat. Stop acting like one.

As Aaron said to Moses, “Aw comeon! We were only venerating the golden calf”.
