So relative intent does not clear the worship given to angels and saints of latria
The pagan philosophers just mentioned worshiped the sun, the moon and the genii only with some lower worship, not as supreme gods but only as servants of the supreme God, and they referred all that worship to the honor of the supreme God himself, as the testimonies cited make plain. Yet the Apostle says that they served the creature, that is, that they gave latria and divine worship to the creature.
It is therefore clear that those who give latria to angels and to departed saints are not cleared of the charge. They worship them with prayers and hymns, with vows and with oaths sworn by their names, with various offerings, and with churches and feast days dedicated to their honor. That holds even if they protest that they give all this to the saints and angels not as to supreme gods, but as to God's servants and friends, and so to gods only by participation, and that relative to the supreme God himself, to whose honor all this finally goes and is referred.

LXXVI. Proinde cum jam dicti Ethnicorum sapientes Solem, Lunam, & Genios inferiori duntaxat aliquo cultu coluerint, non tanquam Deos summos, sed solum tanquam summi Dei ministros, totumque istum cultum ad honorem ipsius summi Dei retulerint, ut ex allegatis testimoniis patet; & nihilominus ab apostolo dicantur creaturae λατρεῦσαι Latriam & cultum divinum exhibuisse creaturae, manifestum est eos non purgari a crimine Latriae Angelis & Sanctis defunctis exhibitae, qui colunt illos precibus & hymnis votis & juramentis per eorum nomen conceptis, oblationibus variis, aedibus sacris, & diebus festis eorum honori dicatis, etiamsi protestentur se omnia ista Sanctis & Angelis exhibere, non tanquam diis summis, sed tanquam Dei Ministris & amicis, adeoque Diis solum per participationem, idque relative ad Deum ipsum summum, in cujus honorem tandem ista cedant & referantur.
