Canceling art:
Phylis Zagano, of the National Catholic Reporter, a somewhat heterodox feminist, nails it with this commentary on Rupnick’s art:
An accused priest, his art and the Vatican
Because it is art meant to lead people into prayer, contemplation and spirituality, people think that is should be separated from the artist. But in Rupnick’s case, this is hard to do.
But let’s speak about another type of art, much higher than mosaics, murals, canvas and paint. It’s the Traditional Latin Mass and its patrimony. Yet the Vatican, with a simple decree in 1969 and again with TC a couple of years ago, tried and is trying to suppress this ultimate and high work of art which is meant to inspire faith, hope and love within the context of prayer, contemplation and spirituality not to mention devotion and mysticism.
The Vatican and others who support Rupnick’s art and want to keep it, even as clip art, look very ridiculous at this point while at the same time they want to destroy the work of art that is the celebration of the Ancient Latin Mass. Just my most humble opinion.
And now famous people in the United Kingdom are asking the Vatican to preserve the work of art that the Ancient Latin Mass is. Among them is Mick Jagger’s ex-wife, Bianca Jagger. And if a Rolling Stone’s ex wife wants the Ancient Latin Mass to be preserved and celebrated, you know that it must be preserved! Case closed!!!!!!

Charity, your dork! Are you really so ugly? For the good of the Church, your soul and reputation, you need to give this up. Are you a priest of the living God or an apostle of Trump?
All the laity who find the Latin mass more spiritual, all the priests as well, and who cares? But let an aging political human rights activist and former rock and roll groupie and party girl formerly infatuated with India spirituality speak up, and case is closed...this should fix EVERYTHING....
maybe Francis had a crush on her when he and she were much younger, she is pushing 80 now, and her save the Latin mass, and be named a saint, Defender Of etc etc, Hammer Of Fruit Loops.
"James", I can see why the post "triggered" you into a political rant....talking about a spiritual mass and beauty does it every time.
The irony is so rich! The same people who are confused about art are even more egregiously confused on a far more dangerous topic- but are pleased as punch that people are spending time/energy on this.
In the wake of the ongoing revelations about homosexual predation by clergy (just wait until the NY and NJ AG reports come out!) we have a hierarchy doing everything they can to normalize and accommodate homosexuality (as long as it is not "active" - wink, wink).
That worked so well with contraception; let's try it again.
