Appeal to Pope Benedict

Banner Appeal to B16.jpg

As you know, 21 November 2009 the Holy Father held an audience in Rome with a number of prominent artists, musicians and architects. In support of his efforts, a number of Catholic architects, academics, musicologists, journalists have drafted a letter of appeal to Pope Benedict offering considerations for the recovery the sacred arts in support of the sacred Liturgy.

I have attached the English draft translation for your consideration. This is still in draft form, but is substantially in place. Appeal to His Holiness.pdf

A Congress on Sacred Art in Rome is being planned next year to draw attention to the issue. At present, we are still looking to get the word out, and to enlist signatories of architects, artists, academics, journalists, cultural critics, clergy, concerned laity, and the like to add their support to this endeavor.

Would you please visit the website to become a signatory to this letter, and forward this email to your own circle of influence, and perhaps give it some space where ever you publish or contribute?
