I understand the Roman Catholics have a definition of words based on their traditions, and those definitions differ from the Biblical definitions.

You call it veneration when you sing a hymn to a statue and crown it with roses. The Bible calls it idolatry and calls the statue a graven image.

And when Mary has the same 8-pointed star as Ishtar does in Roman Catholic paintings and statues, you have no explanation of what that star represents other than the goddess Ishtar.
