"In order to communicate the message entrusted to her by Christ, the Church needs art. Art must make perceptible, and as far as possible attractive, the world of the Spirit, of the invisible, of God. It must therefore translate into meaningful terms that which is in itself ineffable. Art has a unique capacity to take one or other facet of the message and translate it into colours, shapes and sounds which nourish the intuition of those who look and listen. It does so without emptying the message itself of its transcendent value and its aura of mystery."---His Holiness John Paul II in his 1999 Letter to Artists (.12)
