Quix, the passage I quoted is just a tiny part of what the Council decreed, though it is a good summation. In order to understand what the Council was doing, one has to at least read the acts and comments on the acts of the Council. Its a very long read but here is a link:

The next page after that title page is a comment page. About half way down there is a section called "What the Council Decreed". That comment goes into some detail about why English speaking Christians have such a hard time with what they "think" the council held. It comes down to both language and the context of the times within which the Council met. The footnotes are particularly important. Its not long at all. (FK, you might find the language and context part interesting apropos of our lens discussion)
If you have the time and read the entire acts and comments on that Council, you will need also to refer to previous council decrees. They too are on line. I think you'll find them quite scriptural.
Finally, though I sincerely recommend that commentary on "What the Council Decreed", if you want to avoid the admittedly tedious read of all the Council documents, try a read of +John Damacene "On Holy Images", sometimes called "The Holy Images". It is a supremely scriptural work laced with some delicious sarcasm and not overly long. Here's a link:
