Anathema Ties to Hell, the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church

An ecumenical counsel regarded as infallible by both the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church anathema ties to hell, those who reject icon veneration. Not only does the veneration of icons not go back to the first century, the only question is whether it originated in the sixth or the seventh century. The early Christians are so clear and vigorous in their opposition to the venerated images that you can't see this as a doctrinal development because that's a doctrinally U-turn.
