Catholic Kitsch
from Roads to Rome Hosted by dml0sc
In this episode, we explore the world of Catholic kitsch, from mass-produced Saint Sulpice statues to quirky bobblehead nuns. These seemingly simple objects spark debate about art, taste, and faith. Once dismissed as overly sentimental, Catholic kitsch is now seen by some as a way to connect with tradition and create personal expressions of devotion. We dive into the history, cultural shifts, and layers of meaning in religious kitsch, questioning what these objects reveal about faith, identity, and the evolving line between sacred and secular.
