It is Official...
The Friday Five is no more. Sometimes they were stupid or even offensive, sometimes they were simply bland, but othertimes they really fueled conversation. I will miss them. I suppose we could have a Catholic Friday Five thing if someone (Smockmomma?) were to write them, or perhaps an Arts Friday Five (or Both! Yipee!). I don't think that I have the time nor the ideas to keep something like that going. But, just to start:
1. The steward at the wedding at Cana was amazed at the quality of the wine that was the result of Jesus' first public miracle. What sort of wine do you think it closest resembled and why do you think so?
2. What is your favorite Catholic work of art that was done by a non-Catholic?
3. What is your favorite depiction of Hell in art?
4. What about Heaven?
5. When you think about Satan, do you think of the Miltonic Satan or the Dantean Satan? Or do you think about the Red Devil from the fireworks box?
OK, this is a start. I will answer in a couple of days when the rest of you have had a chance to respond.

2. "Til We Have Faces" by C.S. Lewis (Honorary Catholic, just like TSE.)
3. The fresco in the Duomo in Florence.
4. Eh... The Paradiso. No arguing with that. The Italian is too gorgeous.
5. Icky nasty hairy Dantesque Satan.
