Haydock's commentary
Idols. Protestants, "oaks, which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens," &c. (Haydock)
The groves were sacred to Venus, and the gardens to Adonis, and were scenes of the greatest immorality and profanation, chap. lxv. 3.
Haydock wrote amid the controversies of his day. The Church teaches that those born into communities separated from her cannot be charged with the sin of separation, and embraces them as brothers (CCC 818).
