It's bland, anodyne, ineffectual, even in its attempt to highlight the suffering of the Jewish people during the Holocaust. It doesn't seem to work. |

Disagree in all points. You are entitled to your opinion, as I am entitled to mine on the quality of this painting. I might add that I'm mystified as to why it found its way onto the thread, when it doesn't come close to resembling an icon. |

 [/url] "El Espiritu Santo de Taos." I'm assuming this last one is supposed to be a personified Holy Spirit? Yes, it is. For those who might not know, William Hart McNichols, a Jesuit priest, has painted about as much "iconographic" rubbish as the better-known Robert Lentz, ranging from touchy-feely personal musings to outright blasphemies. This statement of his is part of public record: "Lentz is regarded as one of the foremost authorities on icons today.” Nuff said.  |

First post on OCnet in a while, and thought I'd start off by sharing some icons by Fr. William Hart McNichols (RC).  For those who are wondering who these two are, the Greek inscription reads "St Francis" and "St Michael". They are shown as patrons and protectors of New York. One is indeed an RC saint, being St Francis of Assisi. The other is the late Fr Mychal Judge, the chaplain to the NY Fire Dept, who was killed in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Fr Judge is a favorite subject of both McNichols and Lentz, because of the late priest's homosexual orientation. Both artists, who are homosexual themselves, have painted various "icons" which promote male and female homosexuality in a positive way, in direct violation of what their own church teaches. |

Νὺξ ἦν πάντα ἐκεῖνα καὶ ὄναρ, καὶ ἡμέρας γενομένης ἠφανίσθη.
Ἄνθη ἦν ἐαρινὰ, καὶ παρελθόντος τοῦ ἔαρος ἅπαντα κατεμαράνθη·

I must admit, I laughed when I saw it, for its sheer silliness, and knowing that that was its intent.
Unlike the abominations visited upon us by "master iconographers" who oughta know better.

Vey shocking but yeah, this one with Jar Jar Binks is funny. However, I must say, I really like Star Wars and some,let's say, not so serious pictures, but I think there are some boundaries... |
