Catechism of the Catholic Church 2129–2132
Official Catholic teaching receives Nicaea II and distinguishes reverence for sacred images from idolatry.
Perspective note
Comparative historical/source study. The original author's or church's reception is retained; inclusion does not make every claim Oriental Orthodox teaching.
Key points
- Corrects the transcript's blanket claim that Catholics only allow decorative religious art.
- Describes Catholic teaching; does not settle all Orthodox-Catholic theological disagreements.
