The Sudarium of Oviedo and The Shroud of Turin.

[MsTruNorth]

I wish this documentary had been more distinct in saying what Ray Rogers found that disproved the validity of the carbon dating tests. What Rogers found was that the strip of cloth that had been wrapped around the Lord's body had later been rewoven into the general piece of the shroud--during the middle ages. It is this area--contaminated with dyes and gums from the middle ges--that was used for the carbon dating tests.

adoration and veneration are different!!! adoration (latria) was due to god alone!! and veneration (dulia) was for mary and saints!!!

[mrghelangel]

catholics do not worship statues!!! we used them to remind us of our beloved family in heaven even you might looking at a photo of your friends or relatives when she or he is far away!!!

Note: Catholics DO NOT worship statues, or religious items, they VENERATE them!!!

@Keylemvids Interesting that this Catholic dictionary uses the word worship to define veneration and then goes on to define worship as adoration, reverence and veneration.

@Keylemvids"WORSHIP. Adoration and reverence paid to God…also for the honor paid to the saints….veneration." (William E. Addis & Thomas Arnold, Eds., A Catholic Dictionary containing some account of the doctrine, discipline, rites, ceremonies, councils and religious orders of the Catholic Church, Catholic Publication Society:New York (1884); w/Nihil Obstat and Imprimitur)

@Keylemvids and 'From all evil, good Lady, deliver us.' Five annual festivals celebrate her greatness, and keep alive the devotion of her worshippers. In Roman Catholic countries the dawn is ushered in with hymns to her honour; her praises are again chanted at noon, and the day is closed with an Ave Maria sung to the Lady of Heaven." (James A. Wylie, The Papacy, London (1852) p. 370)

@Keylemvids "The same worship is rendered to Mary as to Christ. Churches are built to her honour; her shrines are crowded with devotees; enriched with their gifts; and adorned with their votive offerings. To her prayers are addressed as to a divine being, and blessing are asked as from one who has power to bestow them. Her votaries are taught to pray, 'Spare us, good Lady,'

@Keylemvids When the Ladies' Sodality meets every night in the chapel to toll their beads and pray the Rosary, they are rendering worship to Mary. When a little old man struggles up to a statue of Mary and, falling to his knees before it, places coins in a box, lights a candle and offers prayers to her, that is worship. When a Blackrobed Benedictine oblate prays to St. Maurus and calls upon him to heal a dying child, he is not only praying to a spirit for

@realdiscoveries a miracle but actually is rendering a low-level of worship. When the Catholic faithful genuflect or cross themselves when passing in front of the tabernacle where a consecrated host is kept, they might claim they are rendering honors to Christ, but the fact is they are paying homage to a cracker.

As one Christian theologian wrote

@realdiscoveries At this point, perhaps it would be well to define a few terms. The words veneration and worship are used often in catechisms and other RCC documents. Surely the meanings of these words are clearly understood by Catholics, religious and laity alike. One older Catholic dictionary provides these definitions:
