After reading the article “Tainted Tiles” by Gina Christian in the July 26 issue, about the Knights of Columbus’ decision to cover mosaics by Marko Rupnik, I hope that churches in Rome and Malta, which house the famous Caravaggio paintings, are not similarly pressured to obscure them with fabric.

After all, Caravaggio was a convicted murderer and escapee. I also cringe at the thought of plastering “The Last Supper” at Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, painted by the alleged homosexual (and abuser of a young apprentice), Leonardo da Vinci.
