Ikaduwang Konsilyo kan Nicea

An Ikaduwang Konsilyo kan Nicea iyo an pigmimidbid na huri kan enot na pitong ecumenical councils kan Eastern Orthodox Church asin kan Simbahan Katoliko. Dugang pa, pigmimidbid man iyan kan Old Catholics asin iba pa. An mga opinion kan mga Protestante nagkakalaen.

Tinugdas an Konsilyo kaidtong 787 AD sa Nicea (lugar kan Enot na Konsilyo kan Nicea; presenteng aldaw kan İznik, Bursa, sa Turkey), tanganing padanayon an paggamit asin benerasyon kan icons (o banal na mga imahen), na pinugulan kan imperial edict sa laog kan Imperyong Byzantine durante kan pagreynar ni Leo III (717–741). An saiyang aki na si Constantine V (741–775), kinaptan an Konsilyo kan Hieria tanganing gibohon na opisyal an pagpugol.

The Council determined that the honorary veneration (timētikē proskynēsis) of icons was permitted, and that the true adoration (alēthinē latreia) was reserved for God alone. It further stated that the honor paid to the icon eventually passes over to the individual that it represents, thus, veneration of an icon could not be idolatrous as the iconoclasts believed. The iconodule position was not justified by Christological arguments (as in the Council of Hieria), rather, the antiquity of iconodulia and the Incarnation of Christ, which was said to make acceptable the depiction of Christ, were emphasized.
