This is why the Latins have defined Purgatory and some items on Sanctifying Grace

But what was the heresy that promopted that definition?

By the way, I hope you realize I am not arguing against the use of icons

It never occurred to me that you were. :)

But what was the heresy that promopted that definition?

In both cases (grace and purgatory), the Protestants were the heretics the Church was fighting. In the former, they went too far, the opposite of Pelagianism, saying man was totally corrupt. And in the later, they completely refused the Church's constant belief in a third state of existence after death.

That's good. I don't want to give a false impression there!
