"Cardinal Meisner warned that when art became estranged from worship, culture became degenerate"

The Cardinal's idea of art likely involves naked boys.

Fuck religion.................................can I get an amen?

[Colonello Buendia]

Amen! Religion sucks anything that can be used to turn people against eachother is wrong, religion is just wrong.

[Faux Real]

That was such a stupid statement, by the Cardinal. Goes to show how institutionalized religion can be manipulative and exploitative.

This doesn't mean all, let alone most, everyday practitioners are complete whack jobs though.

On who am I kidding, let's purge all them religious peoples!!!11

Stop making a scene. Pope says something is degenerate art, you are up in arms. Someone else says it, then it's a Cultural Revolution.

Exactly. In fact, there are many Marxists out there who say that alot of modern art (especially postmodern art) is degenerate. I don't think the cardinal said anything that was even remotely provocative.

He should of chose his words more carefully. Oh well, thats the way the ball bounces sometimes.
