Latria and dulia, with hyperdulia for Mary, though Scripture does not keep the distinction exactly
The Schools coined Latria for worship of God and Dulia for honor of holy angels and people.
Dulia is then split: Hyperdulia for the Blessed Virgin, and Dulia in the strict sense for the other Saints.
They admit Scripture itself does not keep that Latria–Dulia split with exactness.
Latin
III. Ut vero cultus ille facilius posset a divino distingui, Scholas utrumque cultum proprio quodam nomine signavisse: & divino cultui quidem Latriae vocem, illi vero qui Sanctis Angelis & hominibus debetur, Dulia nomen appropriavisse. Quae Dulia rursus distinguitur in Hyperduliam, quae Beatae Virgini, & Duliam proprie sic dictam, quae Sanctis reliquis competit: quamvis agnoscant in Scripturae usu discrimen istud inter Latriam & Duliam exacte non servari.
