Consensus that images are somehow to be cultivated and adored—yet Schoolmen still quarrel over the mode and nature of that cult
Roman Schoolmen agree images somehow deserve kiss, incense, lights, and kneeling.
They still split on the mode and nature of that cult—Vasquez: unity against iconomachs, diversity on how adoration works.
Latin
XXXV. Sed quanquam Scholae Romanae Theologi communi consensu agnoscant imagines, aliquo saltem modo, colendas & adorandas esse, adeoque pium & laudabile esse, ipsas devote osculari, thus ipsis adolere, luminaria accendere & coram eis genu flectere, sive procumbere, minime tamen inter se consentiunt quae & qualis istius cultus ratio atque natura sit. Quod observat Vasquez tomi jam allegati disput. 108. cap. 1. Cum Catholici omnes, inquit, contra Iconomachos in aliquo cultu & adoratione imaginibus deferenda facile conveniant, variant in modo seu ipsa natura adorationis.
