Explanation: Both the Western Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church allow the use of icons for the purpose of prayer, which serve the believers to inspire and approach God, that is, not worshiping the icons as objects of worship but the means of prayer. Otherwise it would be idolatry, which is contrary to the conviction of Christianity. It should be noted that only in Christianity is allowed the use of icons, i.e. painted religious motives as a means of prayer. The Roman Catholic Church uses the Latin language for religious services while the Orthodox is using Greek for the same purposes. It should also be noted that the use of language was very liberal in the history of Christianity, and there are religious services in the languages of the local people for the easier understanding of the service.
