You don't "belittle" an artist by celebrating his work.

Idolatry is exactly that. Overt celebration of the work instead of the artist, to stay in metaphore.

You added the "instead". There is no "instead" either in what Campion wrote or in normal Catholic piety. Your point depends on the "instead", but at least in this instance you had to put it in before you could take it out.

Now you will want to tell us you know what we do better than we who do it know, that the 'instead' is there whether we say it or mean it or think it or not.

Evidently this is what passes for discussion among Protestants.
