Catholicism needs a lot more than art before it can afford to fix its attention on something so not critical to faith.

This is so shallow.

Artists today are all sodomized or sodomite-friendly.

Thank you for posting a thread about something other than the current crisis. Thank goodness for a little break away from the constant (if necessary) barrage!

I went to Rome in 1984. Saw the Sistine Chapel while it was being restored, toured the Vatican Museum, visited the major Churches and stuff like Trevi Fountain and saw JPII. When I got back home I decided I did not want to go to a church that looked like a bank anymore. No more modern churches-in-the-round for me.

Thanks for posting.

...and artists who could create that beauty.

Or physicists.

Probably one of the most stupid comments I have ever heard outside of a college art class. No basis no meaning just rhetorical bull sh*t. Just what the
Catholic Church needs right now with all of it’s internal and external problems

[Mariner]

Patronage for the arts is one of the highest callings of man.

Without it, we would not have ever heard the music of God...

Bump — Some of the most beautiful art can be found in Catholic Churches.

One of my most painful religious experience was having to watch a bunch of women in gowns running around waving ribbons. Liturgical dancing. I pictured God face-palming.
