So you’re now arbitrarily changing the definition of ‘idolatry’? Idolatry is to worship as divine anything that is not divine - meaning anything or anyone other than the Divine Persons of the Trinity. You’re saying that is someone defends comments - which you have decided are modernist - that is worshipping a false god. You realize that makes absolutely no sense, right? Not only have you set yourself up as the judge of the popes but you actually are arbitrarily altering the universally understood meaning of a word - “idolatry” - to do it. Maybe you should stick to what you know instead. I have no idea what that is. I have doubts that you even know what that is, but it would be less embarrassing for you in any case.
