This Caravaggio lecture is both funny and informative. His paintings are filled with hidden symbols. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdXVWy6VAwA https://www.you

  Most older paintings are filled with hidden symbols[1], that was kind of the point. Today we still find this tradition of set dressing occurring in diplomatic photos. [1] I have not read The Benedict Option but from its reviews, and from Dreher's professional and confessional background, I currently suspect Madonna's Justify My Love has stronger theological grounding. Bonus clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wlk4ulVs-2M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wlk4ulVs-2M (note the seppele and gestures, which finns apparently share with slavic cultures) Edit: for the downvoter, are you aware of the various christian doctrines of justification, and their roles in the schisms within that religion? For Dreher's confessional cursus, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24588118 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24588118 (Not being a believer in heresy myself, I am feeling more charitable towards the shakiness of his theology after having discovered he is a journalist and/or blogger, not a theologian.)
