I am afraid to google "Vere Homo"! Do you have a link?
When the Passion movie came out, many churches that I know of tripped over one another in vitriolic condemnation. Yet, these same churches will support missionaries that distribute the Jesus film. And some of them do also have the Dove representing the Holy Spirit inside their church sanctuaries. Also, one Reformed kid's book on the Gospels, in order not to depict Jesus, drew a white shadow in the shape of Jesus in the midst of his disciples. That is STILL an image - albeit a shadowy and non-descript one.
If any image of Jesus is a sin against the 2nd Commandment then, logically, it would be less sinful to watch a porno than to watch the Jesus film! After all, is not gross idolatry much worse than lust!

There is a large Pentecostal church in Toronto that performs a play every Easter depicting the life of Jesus.

I think if images of Jesus are indeed idolatrous, then 90% of the Christians that have lived in the past 60 years were never saved. Because they lived lives of gross idolatry. Not only do they approve of such idolatry they publish it and teach it to children.
