So now WND is espousing the same views as Jack Chick (spit!) - the narrow, blind hatred of Catholicism?

Yet another reason why WND will never, ever be on my computers. I'll get my news from real sources.

As regards the Early Church Fathers and art, it must be realized that it took hundreds of years for a consensus patronum to develop. Some thought art was a distraction from the true worship of God; others saw a legitimate place for that. Similarly, some thought music was a distraction (e.g. St. Augustine); others loved it deeply (e.g. Ambrose of Milan, an interesting combination considering St. Ambrose was St. Augustine's mentor).

Do you have any objective verifiable proof that WND is the equivalent to Jack Chick?

Or are you just going to take opinion over objectiveness and verifiability?

Further, read post #1, and #59. It should tell you plenty concerning the Apostolic Age, the ECF's and Church Tradition concerning giving reverence to religious art/images or what the art/images represent - and that Church Tradition on this is ultimately based upon circular reasoning.
