III. “You Shall Have No Other Gods Before Me”

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2113
Idolatry not only refers to false pagan worship. It remains a constant
temptation to faith. Idolatry consists in divinizing what is not God. Man
commits idolatry whenever he honors and reveres a creature in place of God,
whether this be gods or demons (for example, satanism), power, pleasure, race,
ancestors, the state, money, etc. Jesus says, “You cannot serve God and
mammon.”⁴⁴ Many martyrs died for not adoring “the
Beast”⁴⁵ refusing even to simulate such worship. Idolatry rejects
the unique Lordship of God; it is therefore incompatible with communion with
God.⁴⁶
