    My house shall be called a house of prayer


    but you have turned it into a cartoon exhibition.

    That Belgium is now more well known for cartoons than Cathclicism could not be "better illustrated" than an special exhibition of cartoons being opened in the former Abbey Church of Floreffe on Pentecost Sunday.

    The Lotus Madonna

    Just to prove the break took place before the Second Vatican Council, prayer card for a Jesuit, Gerard Beckers who was about to leave for India in 1953.

    Cathcon has no problems with a hermeneutic of continuity - before and after the Second Vatican Council.

     


    I discovered the card on a brick-a-brack stall in Floreffe- Father Beckers died three years ago, having taken Indian citizenship in 1978- he was known as Babu.

    Typical liturgical arrangement in a Belgian Church.
