Referring to the Churchs pastors, Lumen Gentium, the Second - TopicsExpress



          

Referring to the Churchs pastors, Lumen Gentium, the Second Vatican Councils Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, sets forth: On the other hand, let them teach the faithful that our communion with those in heaven, provided that it is understood in the fuller light of faith according to its genuine nature, in no way weakens, but conversely, more thoroughly enriches the latreutic worship we give to God the Father, through Christ, in the Spirit (par. 51) In this, the word latreutic refers to the Greek word latria, which means worship. Hence, our veneration of the saints and invoking their intercession, when understood within the context of the Church, in no way detracts from the worship of God, but serves to enhance it.
