If you had read the full text of Bishop Schneider’s instruction, you would have seen this nugget:
“they failed to distinguish the holy from the profane, asserting that the icons of our Lord and of his saints were no different from the wooden images of satanic idols.” Second Council of Nicea
“ they failed to distinguish the holy from the profane, asserting that the icons of our Lord and of his saints were no different from the wooden images of satanic idols.” Second Council of Nicea”
Yes I did read this, but of course it remains a violation of all Scripture teaches of idolatry.
Additionally, no Apostle taught nor practiced such.
It was a pagan practice added to Catholicism, which was of pagan origin.
If history doesn’t matter and Scripture doesn’t matter, you’ve left Christianity for syncretic paganism.
