Theological Theses · §1389

Yet public prayers addressed to the images themselves seem to clash with Nicaea II and Trent’s ban on seeking anything from an image

Practice strains the Councils: Nicaea II and Trent bar seeking from an image, yet Rome’s public use aims prayers at the images themselves.

Latin

XX. Sed in quibusdam videtur Ecclesiae Romanae praxis non satis cum decretis Conciliorum ipsius concordare. Nam, ut supra vidimus, Synodus Nicena secunda, cum Anastasio, docet, Imagini non licere proskunein. Et similiter Synodus Tridentina ab imagine nihil esse petendum. Et tamen in publico Ecclesiae Romanae usu sunt quaedam precationes quae ad imagines ipsas diriguntur.
