"I missed the place where the article said anything about worshipping beauty."




Here is the reference:

"The Catholic Church, instead, offers a celebration of beauty;"

People celebrate lots of things. That is different from worship. That's why there are two different words.

Celebration is quite different from worship. One can appreciate and celebrate the beauty of a spouse, in children, the beauty found in nature, in art, without worshipping spouse or children or nature or art or putting those in the place of worship for God above all. Yet God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in it and made it good, for us.
