Could you please give the definition of idolatry that we are measuring against?

Would this one work:

Idolatry etymologically denotes Divine worship given to an image, but its signification has been extended to all Divine worship given to anyone or anything but the true God. (The Catholic Encyclopedia)
Then the mass is idolatry, as it claims that a wafer is the very person of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I do not think Daniel should be the barometer of this thread. As a member of the Orange order he has obviously drank the "orange juice'' and is still ticked off with vehement hatred towards England!! I am voting for England to make another "pale" around dublin once again!!!!
I left the Orange Order 5 years ago. But I am still an Ulster Protestant, and that means one thing: No Pope Here!!!
