The 5 Sins Against the Immaculate Heart, Part V: Mocking Mary in Her Sacred Images

The 5 Sins Against the Immaculate Heart, Part V: Mocking Mary in Her Sacred Images

Author: World Apostolate of Fatima, USA December 18, 2025 Duration: 31:57
In this concluding episode of the Five Blasphemies series, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran reflect on the fifth blasphemy against the Immaculate Heart of Mary—those who insult, mock, or desecrate Mary through her sacred images. They explore the history of iconoclasm, tracing it back to the 7th and 8th centuries, and explain how the Church affirmed the rightful place of sacred images at the Second Council of Nicaea in 787.   Barb and Katie also discuss the beauty and purpose of Catholic sacred art, and how images of Mary are meant to lift our hearts and minds to God, not replace worship. They address modern sources of hostility toward Marian images, including godless ideologies and movements that echo this ancient heresy.   To close the series, listeners are encouraged to take part in the First Saturday Virtual Pilgrimage, using the First Saturday Passport and Treasures of the First Saturday Devotion as guides for prayer, reparation, and deeper devotion to the Immaculate Heart.
