What are the teachings of Catholic Church on the existence or otherwise of Lesser Gods in the context of Ex 20:5?
Upvote:1
The teaching of the Catholic Church is that there is only one God in three divine persons. I wouldn’t try to read so much into the text here. People have believed many things outside of what God has revealed (including belief in other gods). Even though they do not exist, people would make sacrifice to them. In my opinion, all God is saying in these passages is to not worship false or fake deities
