The second commandment forbids the making of objects and the bowing down before them.
Catholics can play all the semantic games they want about what is worship, adoration, but that which we calla rose by any other name....
In the end, bowing is bowing and breaking the second commandment. It can be objectively seen and ascertained as such, whether the person involved deludes themselves into thinking it's not worship after all.
In other words, words have meaning insofar as they agree with your preconceived notion and when they don't then its semantics?
Sorry, but I'm not going to take responsibility for the ignorance and illiteracy of the protestant contingent.
As for your citation of the second commandment, I wonder if you're prepared to discuss the whole of that section in Exodus, whereby you left out the part about worshiping false gods and are you prepared to state that Catholics believe statues are gods?
Amen, metmom.
