Heart the 2020 Vatican Nativity Scene so much

The balanced voluminous masses are pleasing and spiritual, interesting, almost a kind of megalithic yet gentle positivity, a new perspective and presence, just the right note for 2020.

Also love the Space Explorer as one of the Wise Men - who were astrologers. Quite frankly that's genius. Love the sense of caveman-art in the light of the new.

Also totally love the incensed reactions of the bourgeoisie aesthetes: BUT NOOOOOOOO WHERE'S THE BOUGHS OF HOLLYARGGHHHHHH IT HURTS MY EYES!!!! LOL.

Which is fine. Just please don't pretend you're being anything but delicate aesthetes revolving around your own orbit of aesthetics. Don't pretend that you're appealing to some profound beauty. No, these same people who love to tell us that Catholic art isn't mere aesthetics and that we need to be open to the sacramental dimension of art are nothing but 100% pure aesthetes - bourgeoisie aesthetes - mocking what offends their narrow gullet of acceptable aesthetics.
