Enjoy this obvious but much needed piece from the Wall Street Journal...
"I have seen and heard enough. We must get rid of everything ugly and stupid from our churches, most of it visited upon them since the great iconoclasm of the 1960s. What’s needed is genuine art that stirs the imagination and pleases the eye, that entices the soul with beauty before a single word of a sermon is uttered."

TREADING WATER
Ai adai, dear readers,
please pardon the silence of the past few weeks. This has been a time of prayer, reflection, and self-examination. Previously, I published posts regarding the problem of reliance on Pope Francis for defense of the Faith. Now, the issues are so great that they transcend the man and have prompted a material (though not yet formal) schism in the Church.
Things will only get worse.
In the meantime, remember that faithfulness to Christ means faithfulness to the Tradition, especially the sacraments. Pop-alatry (or Papolatry, if you prefer) is not the answer. Obedience to the Pope is paramount, to be sure, but when the Pope preaches heresy, then perhaps we must stand firm until he recovers his senses, if not his faith.
Until then, read all you can and prepare for the 100th Anniversary of our Lady of Fatima's miracle of the sun.
