Some say that it is sinful to imagine God or Jesus using mental imagery, because we dont know what they look like in reality and so we shouldnt imagine them, if in case we "insult" them. Thus, looks like when people pray the rosary, they cannot imagine any member of the Trinity, though one of those Sedevacantist websites tell you to imagine them.
I saw a very depressing picture of the Father and Son crowning the "Queen of Heaven" on someone's wallpaper on their Youtube channel. How on earth do they get the idea that God looks like that? There must have been someone who decided from the beginning that the Father is some oldish strong man with a beard. How do they justify making such paintings/mental imageries if they have never seen God the Father?
Isn't this kind of like asking how many bullets can a magazine carry before it becomes a mortal sin? You know. Like the 'angels on the head of a pin' rhetorical exercise of the obscurantist Middle Ages.
And like where is the infallible magisterium/Office of Morals on our favorite Dim buffoon who plays second fiddle to the Abortionist in Chief anyway?
FTM the most perceptive analysis of Biden's role I have seen is at:http://sultanknish.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/the-scarecrow-of-1600-pennsylvania.html He exemplifies what the Sacred Cow of MultiCultural Diversity has come to trample upon with a vengeance.

Looking for an Obscure Luther Quote? Chances are if you've wound up on this site, you're looking for information on an obscure quote said to come from Martin Luther or one of the other Protestant Reformers. This blog has been compiling information on obscure Reformation quotes for over a decade. Use the search engines below to look for your particular obscure quote.
“Let nobody suppose that he has tasted the Holy Scriptures sufficiently unless he has ruled over the churches with the prophets for a hundred years. Therefore there is something wonderful, first, about John the Baptist; second, about Christ; third, about the apostles...“We are beggars. That is true.” - Martin Luther
"It is true that the best apologetics can be given only when the system of truth is well known. But it is also true that the system of truth is not well known except it be seen in its opposition to error."- Cornelius Van Til
"But a most pernicious error widely prevails that Scripture has only so much weight as is conceded to it by the consent of the church. As if the eternal and inviolable truth of God depended upon the decision of men!"- John Calvin
"The Scriptures obtain full authority among believers only when men regard them as having sprung from heaven, as if there the living words of God were heard."- John Calvin
This is the best book available on Sola Scriptura. For Protestants, it will help you understand and defend sola scriptura. For Catholics, this book will help you understand exactly what Protestants mean by sola scriptura, rather than what you think it means. I highly recommend getting this book, it never leaves my desk, and serves as a valuable reference tool.

BTW: How do Orthodox view the rosary?
I've met numerous EOdox and RCs who don't even care whether they picture God the Father.

I honestly don't know how they justify that.

So how many holy Rosaries does it take to get Joe Biden excommunicated?
LOL!
