They will still claim that when a Catholic does it it is idolatry, when a prod does it - if they believe, well then it is OK.
Catholic = evil is about the ONLY dogmatic truth that unites the “non denominational” haters. They never reveal a creed or denomination, as then they have to accept those definitions - so they are all a “church of one” and their ONE dogma is: Catholic = evil.
‘They will still claim that when a Catholic does it it is idolatry, when a prod does it - if they believe, well then it is OK.’
This is akin to liberal logic. They take some action—perhaps a crime—in which conservatives are not engaged, and they set up a hypothetical wherein conservatives are committing that action. Then they devolve into an orgy of speculation and condemnation re conservatives for committing this deed—which in fact conservatives haven’t committed.
Same here. You postulate that the Ark of the Covenant still exists. (It likely doesn’t.) Then you posit that its discovery will cause non-Catholics to venerate it. This is probably projection. At a minimum, it’s worthless speculation. You see the world through Catholic eyes. You have no idea how non-Catholics would react to a historical item that you would be inclined to venerate. You fail to understand that we reserve worship and veneration for God alone.
Isaiah 42:8
“I am the Lord, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images.
