This book delves into the history and practice of image-worship within the Roman Catholic Church, tracing its evolution from the eighth century through to the present day. The author presents a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the Church's doctrine and practice regarding the veneration of images, shedding light on the irreconcilable positions taken by prominent theologians and canonized saints throughout history. Exploring the tension between the Church's decrees and the teachings of the early Church Fathers, the book uncovers the deep-rooted differences that have shaped the Church's approach to image-worship. Through meticulous examination of the Roman Breviary, Missal, and Pontifical, the author demonstrates the enduring presence of image-worship in the Catholic liturgy and devotional practices, highlighting the contrast between the Church's official stance and the nuanced views held by its members.
