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) |
Rome has redefined idolatry to be any kind of worship given to a false god. The worship of the mass is not considered idolatry, because it is worship given to the true God. They do not include the second commandment (you shall not make unto yourselves any graven image) in their listing of the ten. Ironic is it not?
