14 Loukatos, 1967: 8. Translation is mine. The early Christian Church even used ancient
ohilosophy to secure Christian dogma in some cases. The most vivid example can be witnessed
during the iconoclastic controversy of the eighteenth century. This was a controversy involving
the Churchs doctrine and its acceptance of the veneration of icons. Many Christians, who
were later condemned as heretical, believed that when one kisses or prays to an icon it is no
different than the worship of idols. In iconoclastic belief, it was necessary for an icon, or image
to be the same essence of that, which it was a representation of. Obviously, this could not be
possible due to the inanimate properties of the icon (wood , paint, etc.) The defenders of the
icons used a Platonic argument to illustrate their point. The relationship of the icon to its model
can be compared to that of the object to the Platonic idea, so that the respect rendered to the
icon is transferred to the image depicted, whether it be Christ, the Virgin Mary, or a Saint.

Now, for the last 15 mins or so a GREEK Orthodox priest has
been addressing you in GREEK on the occasion of GREEK
Letters in the presence of GREEK Orthodox faithfulyet, I am
not Greek. I am not pretending to be something that I am not,
neither am I adopting a surrogate culture. I am quite proud of
my last name, and I cherish my Latino culture y tambien hablo
