The Catechism’s physically literal interpretation of Scripture leads to idolatry. According to the Bible, we must not give worship to any false god or idol, meaning anything man-made (as an image) to represent God. In the Old Testament, Aaron fell into this same grave error of idolatry, “…when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, up, make us gods, which shall go before us…” Aaron made the golden calf as a medium through which the Israelites were to worship God. "These be thy gods, O Israel...” he states. As physically literal as Aaron and the people of Israel were, they did not imagine that this image was itself a god. Rather, they made the image a representation of the true God, whom they intended to worship in and through the image. This is idolatry. It is the same mistake the Church of Rome makes at every Mass.

The true worship of God ought to be in spirit and truth, as the Lord proclaimed, “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” This worship brings true peace and true Christian living. Worship of the Eucharist brings about the wrath of God as promised in His Word. God looks upon those who practice idolatry as haters of Him, though they pretend to love Him. He will judge their iniquity. We are told that God is One, “…who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments” (Ex. 34:7b).

We remember the simple Word of the Lord in Mark 13:21, “if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not.” To command worship of the Eucharist is idolatry and idolatry is spiritual adultery. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry 1Co 10:14.
