veneration and idol worship... How many commandments do you break in one act here?

[Campion]

I don't know, but if you're judging people wrongly, you're breaking the commandment against bearing false witness.

Funny how Protestants claim "all sins are equally bad" which would make *your* bearing false witness just as bad as *my* idolatry, wouldn't it?

Do you need an explanation of the difference between latria, dulia, and hyperdulia? Tell the truth, now.

You should be in a good old-fashioned Easter Vigil, where everything gets incensed, including the priest, the concelebrants, the deacon, every person in the pews, the Gospel book, the altar, the water for Baptism, -- everything.

Because ---we are adoring books, pews, or even unbelievers who just happen to be in attendance (it could have been you!) --- right?

Actually, it means that persons, places, and things are being dedicated and set apart for the service of God.

I dig the Fatima statues, though. Is that cool or what? Even our statues adore statues! Fersure!

But that's Traditionalists. No so with the Modernists, not so.

`

They adore felt banners.

You will not convince catholics that these rituals, relics and dead body parts they bow before and kiss is worship. If the Gods words themselves cannot reach them I highly doubt anyone outside their ritul practices will have influence as peopel of God have been trying to do warn catholics for centuries......

We do know that Romans 1 says that when people suppress the truth of God and reject that which can be known of God that is in them in the place of God, they create their own idols ‘in the form of man’... as well as beasts and other animals.
