Living persons, places and objects are not given dulia.

From the Catholic Encyclopedia:

“Dulia: (Greek doulia; Latin servitus), a theological term signifying the honour paid to the saints, while latria means worship given to God alone, and hyperdulia the veneration offered to the Blessed Virgin Mary.”

OK, it's a valid distinction, and you do well by pointing that out. We (I) ought to employ a more exact vocabulary about the various gradations of honor recognized in the Church.

Back to an earlier point: I was admiring Cardinal Burke for recognizing the special honor and reverence owed to the Successor of Peter.
