So like I said, I like the image at Jordan’s post.<\/a> (she found it at a Creighton University website.) In the image, Joan is little, defenseless; her expression is frightened, but she does not shrink or cower. Her cheeks are red from the heat of the bonfire. And St Michael towers behind her, protecting her. He touches her lightly on the arms as he comforts her in the flames. His face, his posture, convey calmness and strength. In general, I like images with big strong angels. I don’t care for images with girly angels.
\nSo I like this image, but at the same time it has that distinctive “Bridge Building Images”<\/a> look to it. Bridge Building has some nice images, including images of Saints and Blesseds that I wouldn’t have expected them to carry, such as Blessed Jacinta and Francisco<\/a>, San Pio di Petrelcina<\/a>, and Ven. Solanus Casey<\/a>.
\nBut they also have pages and pages of images that just go off the top of the Catholic Light Nut Scale.<\/a> Bridge Building loves to depict people whose causes have yet to be opened (Fr Mychal Judge<\/a>) or whose causes are unlikely to be opened anytime soon<\/a>. They really, really love doing up images in some kind of bobo-romantic Native American style (complete with a disclaimer<\/a>.) And, of course, who could forget their nut-rageous Lord of the Dance<\/a> (complete with their reference to the 1963 ditty “Lord of the Dance” as a “medieval English Carol”)? Not even Fr. Sibley knew where to start on that one.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
