774. ) For the bare use and actual venera- tion of images is not a matter of faith, but of discipline only. Till idolatry and the recent remembrance of it was banished out of the Christian world, that is, till about the middle of the fourth age, or somewhat later, there "was little or no use of images in Christian oratories, much less of statues. Some few pastors, among whom St Epiphanius was one of the most distinguished, were even of opinion that they were absolutely repugnant to Christianity.... But others of as much zeal and more discretion, and in greater numbers, opposed the mistake. That it was really an error is the judgment, not of the catholic church on- ly, but also of the Lutherans, and of all moderate protestants. ' (Montague, par. 2, Orig. 144, p. 91. " Si quis novatorum, ait, in ea versetur haeresi, illicitum esse, picturas, imagines, statuas conflare, Ecclesiis ad ornatum proponere, et informationem r-udiorum, homo vecors . Est. ") And since paganism has been utterly banished out of Christendom, the church did well to de;- clare, that the images of Christ, and of his saints, are to be re- tained ; and that due honor and veneration (or respect J is to be given to them.
