Papal Encyclicals go Arty

If there was a prize for inane events, it would have to go to the Vatican.

Take the latest offering: an exhibition at the 18th Venice Architecture Biennale – touted as “an internationally renowned event that showcases both classical and modern artwork from around the world.”  

The Vatican’s exhibition is titled “Social friendship: meeting in the garden” and is meant to represent Benedictine simplicity. Included in this display of ‘simplicity” are these juvenile wooden sculptures, made by the Portuguese architect Alvaro Siza. Perhaps the poor fellow was ‘simple-minded” and someone felt sorry for him.

Perhaps the wooden blocks are Jenga pieces and the whole thing it is a statement about evolution and how mankind randomly fell together from a jumble of DNA. (Like these Jenga pieces ending up as humanoids – get it?)

The Dicastery for Culture and Education tells us that the exhibition is “a way of celebrating the ten years of Pope Francis’ pontificate and the dialogue he has established with the world.” I’m glad there’s something to celebrate after this decade of apostasy overseen by Francis the Destroyer.

A sycophantic Cardinal from the Dicastery spouted some Bergoglio-esque drivel about the papacy: Cardinal Mendoca:

We want to see how some of the main ideas of this pontificate can be key to a dialogue with contemporary architecture and converge in a vision that takes the risk of imagining a different future.

The Cardinal explains that Laudato si’ and Fratelli Tutti:

” … help us not only to make a critical, precise and sincere diagnosis of the present, but also challenge us to raise our gaze, rediscovering the capacity to dream with determination of the prophecy of a better world.

Why does this example from the exhibition …….

…. remind me of this?

And why do both of those images give me the feeling that Francis’ “better” One-World-Government-One-World-Religion world is something along the lines of THIS???

Further Posthumous Humiliation of Pope Benedict

After the death of the Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, Bergoglio lost no time in rewriting history to hide the fact that he is acting in complete opposition to Tradition. For example, on one of his many ‘Magisterial’ in-flight press conferences, Bergoglio tried to convince us that he and Benedict were besties and that his NWO apostasy agenda had the full support of poor Ratzinger.

This posthumous campaign against the previous Pope ramped up a notch when the current Vatican hierarchy now has its true opinion of Benedict literally etched in stone.

Rome Reports shared the time-lapse video of an artist creating a disturbing bust of the Pope Emeritus from a previous bust made by him. The first version had apparently been rejected by the Vatican because of its hollow, soulless eyes. [It is perhaps of note that having one’s eyes plucked out is a penalty in several degrees of Freemasonry for the violating of one’s oaths.] Apart from that perturbing detail, the statue had some artist merit, being a decent likeness of Ratzinger, and presented with the dignity merited by a Pontiff.

The updated version, however, reminds one of those hideous displays of preserved cadavers that are popular among the avant-garde and their luciferian hangers-on. As shown the in the video, the artist has chipped away his subject’s clothing, leaving the emaciated flesh of an elderly man. Stripped of all dignity in this way, the result is something almost less than a man, or perhaps ore accurately, of a lonely and despairing man without anyone to care for him and cover his nakedness.

It is this shameful image that was awarded a prize by the Pontifical Academy of Fine Arts. Although the artist, Jacopo Cardillo, says that he loved the former Pope, the thumbnail image on the video showing him staring intently at his work, reveals anything but love.

Cardillo named the original bust, ‘Habemus Papam’, while the new version is called ‘Habemus Hominem’. I think you will agree that ‘Habemus Abominamentum’ is a far more accurate description. Cardillo is apparently a ‘self-taught’ artist who created ‘Habemus Papem’ at the age of 23. He was fascinated by the legendary ‘Veiled Christ’ sculpture, which is said to have been wrought by the aid of alchemy. He also seems to have a thing for sculpting fetuses, both living and dead. The source of his talent I will leave to your imagination.
