Ugly Commemoration of V II in Floor of St. Peters

    • I noticed this on Orbis Catholicus Secundus yesterday. How classless to hack up the floor of St. Pteter's  :really-mad2:
    I remember hearing a liberal priest blabbing about the "triumphalism" that existed in the Church before the wonderful Second Vatican Council made everything better (as I remember he would just refer  to V II as "the council" as if there were no others).

    If carving this logo into the floor of St. Peters isn't triumphalism what is?

    I have never liked this.  Since the moment I first saw it. 

    It is the first thing you see when you enter St. Peter's Basilica.

    It commemorates the opening of the last general council of the Church.  

    In short, it does not match.  It is just out of place. 

    And they cut into and damaged the precious floor already there (the precious ancient Roman porphyry).

    •  :dancing-banana:Forgive me.  My first thought was "hopscotch board" for childish bishops.  No problem with replacing it.  Why not put it on a playground and make something of beauty?

     St. Francis Xavier threw a Crucifix into the sea, at once calming the waves.  Upon reaching the shore, the Crucifix was returned to him by a crab with a curious cross pattern on its shell.
