    • About three times each week some Protestant loses his/her mind about the "graven images" of "the satanic cult of the whore of Babylon/Rome" for which reason I made a meme. I usually accompany the meme with: "Generic stupidities do not deserve a personal answer."

    They misunderstood the Commandment, much like the others, and took an extreme material interpretation of it. That is why they forbade images. If that wasn't the case, then the Church is wrong in allowing us to venerate any images. Making an icon of the three angels as the Trinity aligns with the interpretation of the Fathers, such as St. Augustine, in taking that as being a manifestation of God.
    Indeed. The Church condemned the heresy of iconoclasm.
