Sorry, my family business is none of your business, nor anyone else. Let's keep it at that.

Ok, I’m sorry.

The New Testament was written in Greek.

There are three words that are used in the original NT - Latria, Dulia and Hyperdulia.

Latria is ‘worship’ and given to God alone.

Dulia and Hyperdulia are ‘veneration’ and ‘honor’.

Catholics give Dulia and Hyperdulia to the Saints, and that is not the same as Latria, which is worship given to God.

This distinction was laid out by St. Augustine to make it clearly to other people what the three Greek words mean.
