ART OF THE DEVIL

There is Op Art -- very bad for church


There is kitsch -- bad everywhere

(Nothing is wrong with a picnic basket except when it serves as a tabernacle.)
and some REALLY BAD kitsch

There is BAD art in church.

And tadaaa! There is DADA!

Is Dada “art” of the Devil? Dada may not be intrinsically evil, not if it’s used as a social commentary; but installing it inside Catholic churches is a whole different ballgame. Think about it! What are churches? Churches are houses for God worship. Now take Dada. Dadaism is a nihilistic arts movement based on deliberate irrationality, anarchy, and cynicism and the rejection of laws of beauty and social organization. Dada is the antithesis of God worship.
What type of individual decides to bring Dada into a place of God worship? It would be preferable if the decision was based on ignorance rather than understanding… after all deliberately undermining God worship is craft of the Devil. Keep in mind, objection to Dada inside churches has NOTHING to do with sensitivity to art or style preference! It has to do with what Dada actually is; irrational and rebellious anti-art. There is no excuse to have Dada inside Catholic churches, none whatsoever!




Then there is the shrine to the "intercessor of suicides" in Linz, Austria.
BAD in every respect:

"Requiem for a friend Judas Iscariot"
