Some art historians have speculated the half-naked, effeminate figure sporting a crown resembling thorns, stealthily emerging from the stable, represents the Antichrist. I think so too.

Reading some of the hate-filled, anti-Catholic rhetoric militant homosexualists are spewing in the wake of the Maine referendum defeating SS marriage, a gay Antichrist does not seem too far fetched. (Maine became the 31st state to vote down gay marriage.)

and just WHAT is in that handbag the seminude crowned figure in large orange bedsheet is hanging over the railing? Is he/she/it planning to smack the magi over the head with it?
ReplyDeleteHieron. Bosch is just so weird.
But you will probably receive more hate e-mail from the "usual suspects" for this post. You are in my prayers.
Thanks Leo - I'm off their radar now so I can post with impunity. Most of them are far too busy pointing out how unjust the Catholic Church is. I expect they will now be too absorbed lobbying to remove tax exempt status for the Church since they consider promoting pro-life issues to be political activity. Others are occupied with outing, shaming and defaming supporters of the anti-gay marriage victory in Maine - just like they did in California after Prop 8.
ReplyDeleteIt is too be expected.
