If you're going to go with Newman, don't leave out the good parts.

[...] And St. Jerome asks Vigilantius, who made objections to lights and oil, "Because we once worshipped idols, is that a reason why we should not worship God, for fear of seeming to address him with an honour like that which was paid to idols and then was detestable, whereas this is paid to Martyrs and therefore to be received?"

THIS is good parts? The answer to the question above is NO. It is still, and always detestable. God says so.

You pay no honor to martyrs?

Martyrdom is not honorable?
