Father Leo delves into the role of sacred art in Catholicism, discussing how it reflects God’s beauty, serves as a tangible reminder of faith, and engages even the youngest believers. The conversation addresses Catholicism’s embrace of visual symbols to deepen spirituality while avoiding idolatry, emphasizing that art acts as an aid to faith rather than an object of worship. We also consider how cultural perspectives shape the way religious imagery is perceived and remind viewers that, while sacred art enriches the Christian imagination, faith itself transcends any physical representation.
