I mean, someone thought it was important enough to share with others and from my view he looks black, not Aryan. Anyway the words certainly sustained me 20 years ago whe I needed it. It never ceases to amaze me how Godly people who "love" everyone are so quick to judge others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070802261765025433.post-81459487210131512512009-03-19T12:00:00.000-07:002009-03-19T12:00:00.000-07:00Fr.

My first visit to one of our chapels on this cob left me quite disturbed as, in an effort to keep the chapel neutral, they placed a "welcome to all who enter" sign behind the altar where one might expect to see the Tabernacle in a Catholic chapel. While I understand the lack of tabernacle, I was quite disturbed by the sign because it was green with a giant pineapple on it. It almost felt like people come to the chapel to worship a fruit. Very disturbing...admajoremdeigloriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16030631537773226388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070802261765025433.post-24743310697413219472009-03-19T10:56:00.000-07:002009-03-19T10:56:00.000-07:00I, too, have my favorites in religious art, and my...I, too, have my favorites in religious art, and my "ick" responses. Yet, it occurs to me that each piece meant something special, connecting the artist to the great "I Am That I Am" as that artist understood It in the moment. Perhaps the artist saw G_d dancing with joy in the Now... or suffering the angst of a drunk who then prays for help and is able to henceforward be resurected into Love.

I've seen some truly horrid depictions of Christ in Catholic churches, too. Dreary dark sepia toned depictions of a pasty skinned big eyed Jesus (you know...like those big eyed puppies or kittens that were popular in the 60's and 70's) pointing to a big valentine shaped heart crisscrossed with thorns in his chest are a particular pet peeve of mine. Ick and double ick! <BR/><BR/>Just say "no" to all bad religious art.
