The “artist” is, of course, wait for it, a Jesuit. Ugliness and heterodoxy, a perfect symbol of our times. Elvis on his knees before the Cross on a black velvet painting is high art compared to this drek.
Lotsa Mason jars in that childish attempt at messaging the most important event in history.
They can only tear down what they had no hand in building up. At this point, and as the Church continues to get smaller, I have to believe they are more than a bit satisfied.
Maybe 80% of good Western art is religious in theme, YMMV. Even if you’ve got no talent or inspiration, you can ape something better.
I might be getting sources confused, but wasn’t it yesterday’s posting with the Kreeft lecture where he said that he knew three people who were converted by Christian music? Healthy art comes from healthy religion, and no religion can be healthier than Christianity, since it’s fully true. Tell me how many people are going to look at this work and convert.
Ah, the fellow with the bizarre fixation on conjoined eyes.
As with the poor, Vatican II kitsch is always with us.
As the saying about art (upper case optional) goes, “I don’t know much about Art, but I know what I like, and I don’t like that!”
St Paul looks like he’s about to reach his drinking threshold and hanging on for dear life.

I was wrong. I thought they were aliens at their first Jesuit mass not realizing a sip suffices.
I think the guy lying on the table is bleeding out of his pompadour.
Well….
