Some Roman doctors grant Jeroboam meant the true God—and still call the cult illicit, a blade that cuts today’s images too
Honest Roman voices admit relative Jehovah-calf cult can still be idolatry—wrong mode, unauthorized images.
They concede the same knife can cut today’s image-cult if God has not approved it.
Latin
XXXVII. Sed sunt inter Doctores Ecclesiae Romanae qui agnoscunt Jeroboam & Israelitas in vitulis verum Deum colere voluisse, & nihilominus eorum cultum fuisse illicitum & idololatricum: non quod vitulos pro Diis haberent, sed quod Deum colerent modo ab ipso non praescripto, & imaginibus adorarent quas ipse non instituerat. Quo argumento, fatentur, etiam hodiernum imaginum cultum, si Deus eum non approbet, eadem ratione damnari posse.
