Dulia/hyperdulia names lack conciliar sanction; Pérez dislikes ‘dulia’ as implying servitude to fellow-servants
School use of dulia/hyperdulia is not yet fixed by Roman Councils.
Pérez (via Bellarmino) dislikes calling saint-cult ‘dulia,’ since the word means servitude and we are conservi, not their slaves.
Latin
IV. Porro, quanquam Theologi Ecclesiae Romanae, cultum Beatae Virginis & Sanctorum proprium, communiter Duliam & Hyperduliam vocent, ut a caeteris cultus speciebus distinguant, iste tamen vocis Duliae & Hyperduliae usus, nondum est authoritate publica Conciliorum in Ecclesia Romana sancitus atque definitus. Ac propterea Martinus Pereziius Episcopus Hispanus, in suo opere de traditionibus, referente Bellarmino, testatur sibi non multum probari nomen Duliae sumptum pro cultu Sanctorum, cum Dulia proprie significet servitutem, & nos non simus servi Sanctorum, sed conservi.
