The total disconnect from reality that Catholics exhibit absolutely stuns me. My comment about the word "adore" as Catholics use it. Let's look.
"This worship called forth by God, and given exclusively to Him as God, is designated by the Greek name latreia (latinized, latria ), for which the best translation that our language affords is the word Adoration." [http://www.catholic.org/encyclopedia/view.php?id=228]
You see, we have to understand when Catholics use words it may not be what we normally think when the word is used. It's the word games Catholics play.
So don't assume we agree when we happen to use the same words.
Hmm. I agreed with you, because you said this:
"Your joking right? The little girl adored her dad. He adored his daughter. The wife adored her husband. Weren't those children adorable at the Christmas program? Get the picture?"
...meaning, I thought, that it's silly to say these people --- the little girl, the dad, the husband, the wife ---are guilty of idolatry. Even though they said they "adored" each other, we all "get the picture" that they are not actually offering each other the true and supreme "adoration", latria, which is for God alone.
But now you seem to saying they ARE idolaters?
You seem to be contradicting yourself.
I must be misunderstanding you. Set my mind at ease. Please tell me you don't think the people in your example are idolators.
