[Zipporah]

The word worship means a form of religious practice with its creed and ritual, extravagant respect or admiration for or devotion to an object of esteem, as well as, reverence devoted to a divine or supernatural power. What I have observed (my husband was Roman Catholic .. most of my family is Roman Catholic and I live in an area with a large Roman Catholic population).. that IMO the esteem and devotion of Mary by many Roman Catholics can be and should be described as worship.

Many people confuse veneration with worship. In latin what we offer God as His due is called "Latria". "Dulia" and "hyperdulia" are the reverence we show to the angels, the saints and to the Blessed Virgin.
