Why did Calvinists wish to remove all icons from their churches?
What will be an ideal response?
Some Calvinists were iconoclasts who viewed "graven," or carved images as being sacrilegious and a form of idolatry. As a result, some Calvinists destroyed stained glass windows and religious carvings that adorned Catholic churches. They felt that if they purged all such Catholic images, they could focus on the words of the Bible alone.
