I wonder if people realize that most “Catholic Art” does not really depict the reality of the event being described. Jesus did not have long flowing hair and a neatly trimmed beard.
And that is very true too. A lot of our aesthetic comes from traditions that make sense to us - MesoAmericans and Chinese default to different depictions too.
Did you use AI to write this? "Brother Thomas, an invented monk at a remote monastery in Ireland" and "said Mary Okoro, a friendly, fake African layperson and active church member."

Did it myself. The whole article is tongue-in-cheek. :)
Very creative and entertaining. Though, read up on St. Francis of Assisi's protest against his Dad...
LOL you're absolutely right. He went back to basics on that one.
