This year's BASIC (Beginning Apologetic Studies in Catholicism) has been focused upon the Visual Gospel.
Friday night was the second session which Fr Vogel has been leading with the help of his sister Rachel.
We live in a culture where a
superabundance of visual and audio experiences flood everyday life, many
of which are neither beautiful nor Christian. In such a visual culture
the time is ready to rediscover the power sacred art has to speak truth
through beauty. Sacred art is not a consumer product of visual
entertainment, but serves to awaken, to teach, and to nourish faith.
Fr Vogel pointed out the elements of this image which make it special ...
... but he did not speak highly of the above image of the crucifixion.
Below is a recording of the last session.
