[29b] We essential not to dream up that the spirit is similar to an image formed from gold, silver, or stone by human art and initiative.
(CCC 2112) The first control condemns polytheism. It requires man neither to take for granted in, nor to nobility, other divinities than the one true God. Scripture recurrently recalls this spurn of "idols, (of) silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They carry on mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see." These sign idols make their people attending worship empty: "Associates who make them are similar to them; so are all who trust in them" (Ps 115:4-5, 8; cf. Isa 44:9-20; Jer 10:1-16; Dan 14:1-30; Bar 6; Wis 13: 1- 15:19). God, but, is the "living God" (Laugh at 3:10; Ps 42:3; etc.) who gives life and intervenes in history. (CCC 2113) Idolatry not only refers to fake pagan worship. It ancient artifact a certainly allure to trust. Idolatry consists in divinizing what is not God. Man commits idolatry whenever he honors and reveres a creature in place of God, whether this be gods or demons (for manifestation, satanism), power, enjoyment, start to grow, lineage, the pronounce, money, etc. Jesus says, "You cannot meeting God and mammon" (Mt 6:24). Various martyrs died for not affectionate "the Boar" (Cf. Rev 13-14) refusing even to ape such worship. Idolatry rejects the elite Lordship of God; it is next incompatible with communion with God (Cf. Gal 5:20; Eph 5:5). (CCC 2114) Possible life finds its unity in the hero worship of the one God. The control to worship the Peer of the realm as you think fit integrates man and saves him from an continuous divorce. Idolatry is a twisting of man's deep-rooted holier-than-thou import. An idolater is someone who "transfers his tough fixed idea of God to at all other than God" (Origen, Competing Celsum 2, 40: PG 11, 861).
