I don't follow Catholic Twitter, but it seems that a stained glass window of Bld Carlo Acutis is stirring controversy.
Another controversy on Catholic Twitter is highlighting how much we struggle to understand our own culture and traditions. This time, it is about a stained glass window that some say is the epitome of everything that is wrong with the Novus Ordo Church, while others celebrate as a way to see ourselves in the Communion of the Saints. But sacred art should do much more than appeal to our sensibilities or resonate with our secular cultural identity. It should portray the life that Jesus is inviting us to. So does this stained glass window accomplish that?

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
