Catholics have a real faith that provides them a catechism for viewing art as art. American Protestantism is histrionic and unmoored so anything can be interpreted as the devil.

Why would they? This sculpture was inspired by the cathedral in Nagasaki that was destroyed by the atomic bomb. Since there were consecrated hosts inside, according to Catholic theology this makes Jesus himself a survivor of nuclear war.

Stargazy Pie
📍 Cornwall, England 🏴

Hailing from the coastal village of Mousehole, Stargazy Pie is easily one of the most visually distinctive dishes in British culinary history. Whole sardines are baked beneath a pastry crust with their heads poking out toward the sky, allowing the rich fish oils to seep back into a savory cream and egg filling. Legend has it the dish was invented in the 16th century by local hero Tom Bawcock, who braved a fierce winter storm to save his starving town from famine, leaving the fish heads visible to prove the catch was real. Centuries later, this dramatic pie remains a beloved symbol of Cornish folklore and community spirit.

Happy National Cat Day! Remember all the cats that served on ships as ratcatchers while providing sailors with much-needed companionship. This image is of Scoresby and Tiger aboard the Royal Research Ship Discovery around 1930.
