Madhouse: German Altarpiece Says More Than A Thousand Words
St Clemens Church in Drolshagen, Paderborn Archdiocese, unveiled on 24 May a new 5x4.5m high altarpiece by local artist Thomas Jessen, 62. People in Drolshagen have been told that the painting depicts the "Assumption of Mary."
In reality, the photo-style work shows two female craftsmen in jeans, one on a stepladder and the other on a trestle ladder, and a shirtless craftsman, also in jeans, hanging up pictures. Jessen has managed the feat of fooling the parishioners into believing that the three are "Our Lady", "Saint Veronica" and the incredulous "Apostle Thomas."
The so-called Mother of God gives the so-called Saint Thomas a belt, which for Jessen is a symbol for the Assumption of Mary. Bild.de spread the sensational news that "many" believers were opposing the picture because it had "nothing to do with the Church."
Pastor Markus Leber, 52, who dutifully plays along with this madness, concluded that the trestle ladder was a symbol of the "encounter between heaven and earth". He admits to "often" having to justify himself for the image. But he wouldn't take it down - because otherwise he would be savaged by the oligarch media and the diocesan nomenclature.
Such and similar follies are a recurring phenomenon in the decadent Novus Ordo party of Germany. They confirm the word of Friedrich Nietzsche (+1900): "Insanity is something rare in individuals, but the rule in groups, parties, peoples, times" (Beyond Good and Evil 4).
