Think about what art is concealed

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.
