Between concept and meaning

This week I was passing by a bookstore I saw a book about the Holy Virgin Mary, and taking a look at it and wanting to know if they had more, I got into an interesting conversation with the clerk who is Evangelist

I explain that the Evangelist Brothers understand that only the One True God must be worshipped, with which they fully agree. And that then, they do not understand why the Virgin Mary is worshipped so much in the Catholic Church


In the Dictionary of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language on the word "worship" there are the following meanings:

worship 

From lat. adorāre.

1. tr. To reverence or worship a being who considers himself to be of a divine nature.

2. tr. Said of a cardinal: Prostrate oneself before the pope after having chosen him as a sign of recognizing him as the rightful successor of Saint Peter.

3. tr. Love with end.

4. tr. Like something extremely.

5. intr. pray (‖ address a divinity).

6. intr. Have esteem or veneration placed on a person or thing. Worship SOMEONE, AT something.

With regard to the first meaning 1. Tr. To reverence or worship a being who considers himself to be of a divine nature. The Holy Bible notes in the gospel book according to St. Matthew Chapter 4 Verse 10 (in textbooks it usually comes as (Mt 4:10)):

"It is written: To the Lord your God you will worship, you will worship him alone" (Mt 4:10).

And with respect to the third meaning 3. Tr. Love with end. What son does not "adore" his Mother by wanting her, what Mother does not "adore" her children by wanting them

Well, this is the attitude of the Catholic: In Concept to God We Worship him as the Only True God and the Virgin Mary we "Worship" in its 3rd meaning of the Spanish Language that has the means of Loving in Extreme

2069 The Decalogue forms a coherent whole. Each "word" refers to each of the others and to all of them; they reciprocally condition one another. the two tables shed light on one another; they form an organic unity.

To transgress one commandment is to infringe all the others.30 One cannot honor another person without blessing God his Creator. One cannot adore God without loving all men, his creatures. the Decalogue brings man's religious and social life into unity. The Decalogue ant the natural law
