Bonaventure, on Rom 1:23

“And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts, and of creeping things.”

“Everything that is adored other than God is either an intellectual creature, such as angels and demons; or a corporeal creature, such as heaven and earth and water and the like; or it is a figment of the human mind. Concerning idolatry with respect to corporeal nature, the Apostle says: Who exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God — and it follows: And they served the creature rather than the Creator. Behold, the true adoration of God is here implied, and all idolatry is prohibited.”
