synonym
[sin-uh-nim]
noun
a word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another in the language, as happy, joyful, elated. A dictionary of synonyms and antonyms (or opposites), such as Thesaurus.com, is called a thesaurus.

For the grammatically challenged, this means that the word ‘divine’ can be used to convey any of those 46 meanings. There is not only one strict meaning. The meaning in this context is much more likely to be ‘holy’, since all Catholics know that Mary is not God, just that she is in heaven with God.

Love,
O2

That you're having to go through these gyrations of vocabulary to attempt to justify the RC worship if Mary is telling.

But this is so typical of Rome to have to play with the natural meaning of words and actions to justify their false teachings.
