Doesn’t the bible say something about idol worship? Cups are cups and only have meaning if you make them into something more than they are.

Then the Ark of the Covenant is an idol by your logic.

The Lord also spoke about not giving what is Holy to dogs. The word "consecrated" is also in the Bible. Just some thoughts.

Yes if we made fake arks and worshipped them...then yes that is an idol. This is like the Muslims getting upset and violent over Mohamed’s picture.

.
No, the ark was built under commandment of YHWH; those trinkets are just corruptions of worship invented by men. The cup has no importance; the wine in it commemorates the shed blood of Christ.

Golden colored cups and the artwork you call a monstrance are not Holy...And the people drinking out of them are not the dogs of scripture...
