I agree.
It might be nice if a Church with 2000 years of artistic heritage, including Michelangelo and Caravaggio, not to mention the inspirational iconic tradition kept alive in the Eastern Catholic Churches could manage to move past the folk-art movement of 1968-1974.
But that'd be crazy and offensive to the Baby Boomers currently in charge.
I guess I should be happy that Jesus isn't wearing a polyester leisure suit.
This idiotic graphic is truly offensive. Some Curia staff gnome was quoted by CNA as saying the "art" is supposed to show that "Jesus sees with the eyes of Adam, and Adam sees with the eyes of Jesus." Really? I guess I missed that in Scripture.
