Are Statues and Images Idols?
Godsplaining
In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Bonaventure and Fr. Gregory dive into the topic of statues and images to answer the question, is veneration of these sacred images idolatry? After sharing their personal experiences (and some laughs) the friars look seriously at the topic in the context of natural experiences before shifting into the supernatural. They round out the conversation by looking to how the Early Church answered this question at the Second Council of Nicea.
