What does DULIA mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
In Catholic theology, dulia names the reverence given to saints and angels, a lesser honour than the worship reserved for God alone.
Theologians distinguish dulia sharply from latria, the total worship due only to God, treating dulia instead as respect and honour shown toward saints because of their closeness to God. A related term, hyperdulia, names the still higher honour given uniquely to the Virgin Mary, standing between ordinary dulia and the latria owed only to God. The distinction matters in Catholic doctrine partly to answer critics who accuse the veneration of saints of amounting to worship, since dulia is defined precisely so that it does not.
