Thanks to Chuck for pointing out this article. Here’s a bit:
Traditionally, when the Church has been at the top of its gamenot burning witches or applying thumbscrews to petty thievesweve had a high view of the pen, the paint brush, the piano and the chisel. Art itself needed no rationalization, and for 500 years, brilliant art emerged from the Church. Orthodox, biblically-based, non-wacky clergy and laity took pleasure in living, the arts, culture, their own talents and the abilities of those around them. They got the message that beauty and culture come from God, and that beauty and culture are good, and they didnt need a 968-word column, written by a so-so writer, to defend it.
