It Is A Pope

By Findalis
Monkey in the Middle



 Since February 28th the Roman Catholic Church has been without a Pope when Pope Benedict XVI stepped down from the Holy See.  Since yesterday afternoon the Princes of the Church, the College of Cardinals has been praying and contemplating a successor to him.

Today a new Pope has been chosen.  The Cardinal from Argentina, Jorge Mario Bergoglio.  He will be known to the world as Francis I.

Born 17 December 1936 to working class parents, he attended the seminary in Villa Devoto.  He entered the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) on 11 March 1958 and was ordained on 13 December 1969.

Pope Frances has rejected Liberation theology, same-sex marriage, women priests, abortion and euthanasia.  He is a humble man, who is a champion of the poor and working classes from which he arose.

Frances I is the first  pope from Latin America and the first to be chosen out of Europe in 1500 years.

The Genius of Mauricio Cattelan on display at Guggenheim museum

The Genius of Mauricio Cattelan on display at Guggenheim museum



Mauricio Cattelan was born in padua in 1960.
Cattelan did not attend art school but taught himself.
he worked as a cook, gardener, nurse and mortuary
attendant, before turning to making art with the hope that the
art world might offer him ‘better treatment’.
he began his creative adventures by making furniture
for his apartment - ‘functional furniture with art meaning’.
his designs were nothing special, he says, but they sparked
a lot of interest among italian magazine editors and
manufacturers. cattelan felt that designing was not right
for him, and an early show in bologna proved to be a
turning point.
today he is one of the best-known italian artist to have
emerged internationally in the 1990s, and his reputation
continues to grow.

Maurizio Cattelan’s art often combines sculpture and
performance. Cattelan has a subtle sense of the paradoxes
of transgression, the limits of tolerance.
since the early 1990s, his work has provoked and challenged
the limits of contemporary value systems through its use
of irony and humor.
