You'll have to ask Iraneus that since he is the one that taught this.

Venerate whom you prefer.

It is a wonder how many who follow Christ are scared ofice for fear of losing eternity with him. Inducing fear insures control. Seems a bit contradictory to the Truth and The Word of Life to then say we are free in Christ. May God bless you and yours as well brother.
