Jesuit On "The Beauty Of Jesus"

A blogger writes.

Yesterday I went to a lecture on "The Beauty of Jesus", by Father Gerald O'Collins, a Jesuit Priest who taught at the Gregorian University in Rome for over thirty years, and lived for a while next door to Joseph Ratzinger, the current Pope. It wasn't much of an academic lecture: it was more like a spiritual meditation on how truth, beauty, and goodness are inseparable from one another, and on how beauty naturally attracts us all. In the question and answer period, some Obamaton in the audience had the audacity to ask the speaker: "Well, what about the beauty of Obama?" Jesus H. whip-wielding Christ, my head and heart nearly exploded. The sheer idolatry of it all, making comparisons between Obama and Christ -- and all this at the Catholic chapel at Yale.
