The Confusion of Greek and Latin Words
Adoration is the Latin word that corresponds to Latria. Adiratio has adoration and Venerazio has veneration, right? So that's why we have all this misunderstanding. When you're talking to non-Catholics, there are two ways of showing veneration or worship towards a created person or thing and to God. And we Catholics have a hard line, a chasm between those two. What does the word worship come from? We do in English worship Mary, but we worship her with hyper Dulia.
