Claudius of Turin

Claudius of Turin (Link)



Claudius of Turin (fl. 810–827) was the Catholic bishop of Turin from 817 until his death. He was a courtier of Louis the Pious and was a writer during the Carolingian Renaissance. He is most noted for teaching iconoclasm, a radical idea at that time in Latin Church, and for some teachings that prefigured those of the Protestant Reformation. He was attacked as a heretic in written works by St Dungal and Jonas of Orléans.

Have you ever heard of him?

 

Iconoclasm is terrible in any context.

 

The early Church was still very much Jewish in her iconoclasm.
