Suarez and others allow images adored as proximate terminus without directly adoring the exemplar
Many disagree with Vasquez: images may be adored without simultaneously adoring the exemplar, as proximate terminus.
Suarez: images cannot be adored except because of the exemplar, yet can be adored in themselves and properly without directly adoring the exemplar as quod.
Cited: Suarez on ST III, disp. 54, sect. 5.

XLIII. At vero plures alii docent licitum & honestum esse imagines adorare non adorato simul exemplari, & ita ut ipsae sint proximus & integer terminus adorationis. Quo de numero est Franciscus Suarez, qui affirmat, licet verum sit imagines non posse adorari, nisi propter exemplar, nihilominus illas in se & proprie adorari posse, non adorato directe, & ut quod, exemplari.
