Do Lutherans have pictures like Catholics do?

[Per_Crucem]

Thank God abuses were not…and are not a part of the official teachings of the Catholic Church…

No, they weren’t. And that’s what Luther was saying.

 

[EvangelCatholic]

Lutherans and Catholics believe:

1. Among the saints who have played a role in God’s plan of salvation for humanity, Mary, who bore Christ, is in particular to be honored, as ‘God-bearer’ (theotokos) and as the pure, holy, and ‘most blessed Virgin’ (laudatissima virgo)…

“17. Saints on earth ask one another to pray to God for each other through Christ. They are neither commanded nor forbidden to ask departed saints to pray for them.

“18. Devotion to the saints and Mary should not be practiced in ways that detract from the ulti*mate trust that is to be placed in Christ alone as Mediator.”

Thanks to Jesus’ promise of perpetuity regarding “all truth” we can safely assume that doctrinal truth in the CC will always be preserved.
