Question

the incarnation teaches that god became man through jesus christ. what did catholics defend by citing the incarnation?
a. creating and revering religious images
b. engaging in \secular\ vocations
c. selling indulgences for salvation

Explanation:

The Incarnation, which is the belief that God became man in Jesus Christ, was used by Catholics to defend the creation and reverence of religious images. They argued that if God could take on a physical form (incarnate), then creating physical religious images (which represent the divine in a physical way) was a valid practice. Option B about secular vocations has no direct connection to the Incarnation's core idea of God - man union. Option C, selling indulgences, was a practice criticized during the Reformation and was not defended by the Incarnation concept.

Answer:

A. creating and revering religious images
