 \nChrist came to make us holy.Holiness is infinitely aboveculture,as it is above economic well-being,and the knowledge ofnatural phenomena.Nevertheless,because holiness rectifies ournatures as it elevates them,so it has a natural by-product of tem-poral peace and beauty,including a flowering of culture.Sanctity  \nis not dependent upon art(or upon anything except grace)butis always followed by culture.True art can also aid the work ofgrace,as chant purifies and orders the passions,and as statues ofthe saints should aid true devotion.We see both processes goingon in the Church today.A spiritual revival is producing a newCatholic art which in turn is helping the spread of the new life inthe Church.This revival of true art is beginning to leaven thefield of the secular arts too,not excluding the movies and radio.Yet it will probably be a long time before creative artists cease tobe temperamental anarchists.  \nIf an omelet is poorly cooked but made of good eggs,it hasat least ","cbCaiviBnVMaQKt2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiviBnVMaQKt2","pdf",2047645,52,"English","# Editorial\n## Art, for Goodness Sake\n## The Cult of Art\n# Art, for Goodness Sake\n## Art and the Moral Order\n## Better Homes for Christ\n## Man's Shadow (A Meditation)\n## Is It Devotional?\n## The Brownies and the Bourgeoisie\n## Book Reviews\n## New Year's Eve (A Poem)","[{\"question\":\"What does the editorial say about the worship of culture?\",\"answer\":\"It describes cultured taste as an insidious modern idolatries and argues that creative genius should not be treated as beyond moral accountability.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the magazine connect art with holiness?\",\"answer\":\"It states that sanctity is above art, yet true art can aid grace—through practices like chant, and through devotion supported by sacred imagery.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the editorial criticize obscene or untrue works?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that when books or plays are untrue or obscene, they are bad absolutely, and it calls for reestablishing a genuine bond between religion and culture.\"}]","Integrity - Vol.3, No.4 January 1949 | PDF",1790655980,131]
