Three hours into my new piece inspired by the recent papacy business (the first resignation since the dark ages...a new pope, the first non-european of the modern era) and the long history of religious influence on the history of art...
Not to say that I'm looking at it in a completely positive light, as commentary should depend on the given situation and artist, but the connection is there and the histories are irreversibly intertwined...I don't think we should be afraid of commenting on an issue simply because someone might take offense or, gasp, disagree.
Part of compromise is understanding the viewpoint of your opposition and understanding HOW you disagree, not just the fact that you do.
