Meaning comes from culture. Painting and writing about Christian sacred art through the ages. (Also, quite a lot of birds.) Indietrist. "I, me, mine." ;-)

Schism Chronicles:

1) to all priests and parishes in Astana, Kazakhstan

Proposed blessings of same-sex couples “directly and seriously contradict Divine Revelation and the uninterrupted, bimillennial doctrine and practice of the Catholic Church.”

Since I saw this last night I've really started to think it's for the best. It will turn Twitter into just another media outlet, a kind of alt-media platform for people like Tucker Carlson & the Daily Wire.

Regular people with medium-to largeish followings - all the artists... bird watchers, gardeners, naturalists, Byzantine Empire history buffs, meme pages, art-Tweeters, Beatles fan sites, friendless churches, albatross cams, urban architectural reformers, badger rescues, and other quirky, oddball niche stuff that piles in here daily...

@UnpoplrOpinnatr @dianemontagna If it helps, the Church has clearly condemned the use of ambiguity to obscure Catholic teaching. cf: Pope Honorius. It is not, in fact, sufficient cover. @UnpoplrOpinnatr @dianemontagna At the same time, there are quite a lot of *implicit* moments:

This image isn't a painting even "digital". It was made automatically by an AI programme that takes all the images posted to the internet and creates algorithmically generated amalgams. No human mind or hand was involved. It's not computer-enhanced as we're used to. But here's... an interesting point about it. Do you recognise the face? You probably think it's the standard image of the face of Christ. But it's actually a specific person who is still alive. The actor Robert Powell played Jesus in a movie of His life in the 60s. So definitely did he...

An Italian paper was mocked for trying to get everyone in panic with a headline that a "heatwave" is coming this week. It's going to be 33C degrees!!

This has been the coolest, wettest, greyest early summer in living memory. 33 is still well below normal late June temps. Last summer was a real drought with 16 straight weeks 35-45C & no rain until September. Billions in losses to agriculture.

A real weather report would say, "Seasonal norms, with temps dropping next week and more rain to come." Image

Why do I think Catholics - particularly religious - are obliged to oppose (or at least ignore) documents like Cor Orans and Amoris Laetitia? Because they are being produced by an evil cult of criminals, deviants & degenerates. This is not speculation on my part, but proven fact. Image This man is Jose Rodrigues Carballo, the secretary (and real power) in the Dicastery of religious (orders of monks and nuns). He was one of Bergoglio's first appointments - April 6, 2013, weeks after the Conclave. He was formerly in charge of the Order of Friars Minor - the...

Honestly this is good. One thing has become clear in the last decade: Benedict was wrong about the liturgy. "Reform of the reform," "Hermeneutic of continuity" - all based on a fundamental error. Bergoglio and crew are right: a new religion was indeed inserted into the Church. The liturgy (of any religion) is the physical manifestation, the "incarnation" we could say, of the theology; together they are the *stuff* of which a religion is made. For 60 years we have had "conservatism" in the Church insisting that what we see before our eyes...

The difference between Eastern and Western Christians' attitude toward "church art": in the Eastern Church to learn iconography (αγιογραφία) you go to the same school that teaches theology.

The Western Church does nothing, has no theology of the image & no training at all. Why are Latin Catholics almost incapable of knowing what sacred art is? Why do they accept such appalling trash in their churches?

This is a hint. It's the educational CV of George Kordis, probably the most important contemporary iconographer in Greece right now. Image
