As I was wasting time waiting to hear back from my team this week before finishing up our project for class I happened across a blog post from a few months back to be found here: http://luxchristi.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/the-end-of-catholicity-ii/
The entry itself is very well written, but I found something toward the end that I had to take exception to. There is a little line, buried in all the rest, that caught my attention (the entirety is given for context, the bolded part is what caught my eye): "We must think of Him not only as the true icon of the Father, but the true icon of humanity, and this in the One Person of the Mediator (and, it should be noted that icon is not mere symbol or sign, like the icons on the desktop of our PCs)"
I have to disagree, not with the author's interpretation of Christ as the True Icon, or with the place of icons in the Church, but with his understanding of what an "icon" is in the world of computers.
