Vasquez still allows saying images are adored with latria—per accidents, via exterior signs

Vasquez still allows absolute speech that images are adored with latria—but only per accidents.

Exterior signs drawn from latria-servitude toward the exemplar make the image latria-adored with the prototype, not per se.

Latin

LX. Caeterum tamen pertendit, absolute dici posse imagines adorari adoratione latriae. Quanquam enim imaginibus non sit deferendus ille servitutis affectus, qui latria dicitur, per accidens tamen latria coluntur: idque quoniam imaginibus defertur exterior adoratio, per signa derivata ab affectu servitutis latriae circa exemplar; quod satis esse putat, ut dicatur imago per accidens cum prototypo, non per se, adoratione latriae adorari.
