First sentence: ALTHOUGH iconography eventually became a favourite child, a veritable Benjamin, of the Church, it was not regarded by the Fathers, in its infancy, with affection or even with respect; quite the contrary, they looked upon it as an undesired foundling laid upon their doorstep which the pressure of extra-ecclesiastical practice and opinion finally forced them to adopt.
