Pope Organises Vatican Art Summit

BBC News:

The Pope has announced plans to hold a summit later this year with around 500 international artists.

The move is believed to be an attempt by the Vatican to mend relations with the contemporary art world.

It's being seen as an overture by the Vatican to mend relations with the contemporary art world after Pope Benedict XVI condemned a sculpture by German artist Martin Kippenberger of a crucified green frog.

Editor's note: The pope's bowing to the arts in attempts at unity after condemning such a blasphemous display?

It's obvious what the Vatican's priorities are...maintaining influence and power in the global community.
