    Can Catholics Eat Pork?

    Are Statues and Images Idols?

    In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Bonaventure and Fr. Gregory dive into the topic of statues and images to answer the question, is veneration of these sacred images idolatry? After sharing their personal experiences (and some laughs) the friars look seriously at the topic in the context of natural experiences before shifting into the supernatural. They round out the conversation by looking to how the Early Church answered this question at the Second Council of Nicea. Subscribe to our channelhttps://www.youtube.com/c/GodsplainingSupport the PodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/godsplainingShop our NEW merch store: https://godsplaining.org/store/Shop Books Written by the FriarsSt. Dominic's Way of Life: https://www.amazon.com/Saint-Dominics-Way-Life-Knowing/dp/1681929392Prudence: Choose Confidently, Live Boldly: https://www.amazon.com/Prudence-Choose-Confidently-Live-Boldly/dp/1681927322/Connect on Social MediaFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/godsplaining/Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/godsplaining/Follow us on X: https://x.com/godsplainingTo learn more about the Province of St. Joseph visit: www.opeast.orgTo support the Province of St. Joseph visit: www.dominicanfriars.org
