What in the @#%&$??? He just compared Rupnik’s “art” to the sacraments and they also somehow dispense grace now?!?! This man is almost as vile as Rupnik. Rupnik’s right up there with the guy on the cross who mocked Christ. And the snark about the gospels? Please, Austen, show us… pic.twitter.com/KFbpg0Kgad

Re: the removal of Rupnik’s art.
Winning.
Thank God that Rupnik’s works, physically steeped in evil and assault, and painted with literal compounds of filth, are finally getting removed from the Vatican website.
If Austen Ivereigh personally found something good in Rupnik’s work, fine. Maybe one of those t*rtured, r*ped nuns died a saint, and that’s a relic of her.
The rest of us can only see the crime scene, and the victims used to make it.
I’m genuinely impressed someone found a way to express that they don’t understand theology and they don’t have any taste in art, all in one sentence.
Putting aside, for now, the question of the artist’s morals, I wonder why his mosaics ever became so popular in the world of Catholic artwork.
I never liked his bug eyed icons. I find them rather ugly. They do not appeal to me.
Was there just not much artistic competition?
Zanchetta booted out, Rupnik’s art removed from the Vatican News website. Things start to look better and better. That awful Ivereigh defending this vile man and still misspelling his name is something I couldn’t have made up, even if I wanted to.

In the world of tiktok, no…
There has been a fasting of 70 years of good Christian art, now every “fast food” art is considered good. Or cute. Or whatever.
I am glad that I always disliked his art so much, years before hearing his name the first time.
