I don't reply to multiple topic rants. And your multiple catechism quotes are out of context, and misrepresented not to mention a total failure to understand certain terminologies. Even to explain one paragraph to a hostile anti-Catholic is a waste of time because it all falls on deaf ears...

You have photos of your family that 1) are images 2) serve as reminders 3) you don't don't stare into them hoping to open some line of communication. An image of Jesus or saint 1) are images 2) serve as reminders 3) we don't don't stare into them hoping to open some line of communication which...

. Now you are insulting God who commanded the Jews to make images for the Temple. ........... The LORD said to Moses . . . you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other...

Wrong. Divine worship refers to the Mass or public liturgy. Provide the context. Keep annoying me with your anti-Catholic lies and you will join the other Christian Taliban in my ignorasium.

But they are essentially the same, that is what you refuse to understand.

"treated reverently" can only mean idolatry to the Christian Taliban.

That's not what I asked, and you know it. It's a simple straightforward question. Do you have a photo of your mother?

You are changing the topic because Protestant iconoclasm is not based on reality but mostly the influence of John Calvin. Religious statuary, properly used, is a thoroughly biblical practice. People who oppose religious statuary forget about the many passages where the Lord commands the making...

Do you have a photo of your mother?

Holy images, paintings, statues, are never worshiped. They serve as devotional aids. Are nativity scenes, found in millions of Protestant homes at Christmas time, idolatry? Does anybody worship the 3-4 inch figures? Christians in the ancient catacombs of the 1sr 3 centuries did all kinds of...

No. God gave us creative abilities and a brain, He expects us to use them. The true image of Jesus is found on the face of our neighbor, especially the poor. I did ask for a quote. I gave you the canons of that council, you gave no quote from the said council, yet you still want to stick to a...

Is the Second Council of Nicaea the time you place as the alleged falling away? Is that what you mean by "the god you worship"? "commanded to be venerated"??? Got a quote? It looks like those bible cults got a hold of you. Here's the canons of the Second Council of Nicaea for your convenience...

It's a digital image of a statue delivered to your monitor/phone where it appears as an image of Jesus with children....but it helps to be there.

No. An image or statue is not a mediator. It's a visual aid. Prayers do not stop at images or statues. They help ascend the mind to God. Finally, we don't need them, we like them. The same as Protestants like their statues of the reformers.

According to Reformed Protestant iconoclastic thinking, they were worshiping a cloud and fire. I say they were worshiping God *through* those images. If not, then the Bible wouldn't have presented these things positively. They would have been condemned as idolatry. But they were not. Idolatry...

Sometimes we miss things in the Bible, though they are right in front of us. Some of our Protestant brethren (mainly Calvinists but some other denominations as well) have an almost obsessive fear of any image associated with worship at all, thinking that all such manifestations are examples of...

Peter declared, "Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children" (Acts 2:38–39). The apostolic Church baptized whole "households" (Acts...

You need to do some real research from objective unbiased sources and find out how wrong you are. I never claimed sex crimes were defensible, and I never denied they happened. I simply exposed your outdated sadism. Sadism is deriving pleasure from inflicting pain on others, and when it comes to...

Do you mean the truth about the obelisk never being used as an idol, or the truth about using 50-60 year old sex scandals as a bat to beat Catholics with, only to have it backfire? That truth?
