Jsc-Stat13-LMisconception: Catholics worship Mary and are, therefore, committing idolatryIn Catholic theology there are three types of worship – one of which is condemned in the Bible if offered to anyone but God:1) Latria – this is adoration which is given to God alone – giving this type of worship to anyone else is considered to be a mortal sin and it is the idolatry condemned in the Bible.2) Hyperdulia – this is a special type of worship given to Mary the Mother of Jesus – it is only given to her and it is not considered to be idolatory as it is not adoration, merely reverence.3) Dulia – this is the special type of worship given only to the saints and angels – it is also not idolatrous as it, too, is a form of reverence.The distinction was made by the 2nd Council of Nicaea in 787 AD.
Jsc-Stat13-LMisconception: Katoliko sambahin si Maria at ay, samakatuwid, tanggapin ang alok idolatryIn Katoliko teolohiya may tatlong uri ng pagsamba – isa sa kung saan ay hinahatulan sa Bibliya kung inaalok sa sinuman kundi ang Dios: 1) Latria – ito ay pagsamba, na ibinibigay sa Diyos lamang – nagbibigay ng ganitong uri ng pagsamba sa ibang tao ay itinuturing na isang mortal na kasalanan at ito ay ang idolatry hinahatulan sa Bible.2) Hyperdulia – ito ay isang espesyal na uri ng pagsamba na bigay kay Maria ang Ina ni Jesus – ito ay lamang ibinigay sa kanya at ito ay hindi itinuturing na idolatory dahil ito ay hindi pagsamba, at wala na reverence.3) Dulia – ito ay ang espesyal na uri ng pagsamba ibinigay lamang sa mga banal at mga anghel – ito rin ay hindi idolatrous bilang ito, masyadong, ay isang anyo ng reverence.The pagkakaiba ay ginawa sa pamamagitan ng ika-2 Konseho ng Nicaea sa 787 AD.
