In the Monastery of the Trinitarians of Madrid, the Roman Catholics pictured the pagan trinity as three heads on one body. This type of imagery derived originally came from ancient Babylon.
The Dublin Catholic Layman, a very Protestant paper, described a Popish picture of the trinity:
"At the top of the picture is a representation of the Holy Trinity. We beg to speak of it with due reverence. God the Father and God the Son are represented as a Man with two heads, one body, and two arms. One of the heads is like the ordinary pictures of our Saviour. The other is the head of an old man, surmounted by a triangle. Out of the middle of this figure is proceeding the Holy Ghost in the form of a dove. We think it must be painful to any christian mind, and repugnant to Christian feeling, to look at this figure." July 17, 1856
