Snake Eats Cross:
Logo for World Youth Day 2019 released
Novus Ordo Watch. The next World Youth Day is scheduled for January 22-27, 2019, and it is going to take place in Panama City, Panama. Already preparations for the event are under way, and that includes, first of all, the release of the official logo.
It was released yesterday; and yes, it is as bad as you feared. You can see it here (click image for a larger version):
What does this look like to you? A doodle from a car mechanic? A sketch with a red X pinpointing stomach problems for the gastroenterologist? Or did someone let his four-year-old have the markers again?
Whatever it is, it is horrifyingly ugly
But not to worry: On the official WYD 2019 web site, the Novus Ordo authorities in Panama posted an official explanation of the logo, which was designed by 20-year-old Ambar Calvo, so you too can understand what is really being depicted:
- “Our Lady at the center of the World Youth Day 2019 logo” (Press Release no. 1, 2017)
As the press release states, this logo was chosen as the winner from 103 total entries. If this is the best selection they could come up with, we’d hate to see the other 102 submitted works.
Truth be told, this logo seems to depict a snake that is about to devour the cross, although calling this sloppily-written “X” a cross would be to dignify it well beyond its merits. What separates the snake’s head from the rest of its body is the “Panama Canal”. That the figure on the right is supposed to represent the Blessed Virgin Mary can only be guessed by those accustomed to the logo of the March of Dimes. No, the five dots are not supposed to represent the Hawaiian islands, and you get extra brownie points if you can find an “M” in this emblem.
For those who didn’t notice, the whole thing is drawn in the form of a heart, a very popular shape in the Vatican II religion, which has long abandoned the Crucifix.
In a way, the recurring World Youth Day logo drama is quite similar to that of the Olympic Games, whose emblems also tend to be aesthetically challenged; although at least the Olympic Games committee does not claim to stand for goodness, truth, and beauty.
Rarely is a Novus Ordo logo actually beautiful, dignified, and — oh yeah! — Catholic. Think of the logo for Francis’ upcoming trip to Colombia, the disgraceful “Year of Mercy” emblem, the Madonna-less logo for the Fatima anniversary, or the undignified “love” logo for the U.S. visit. All these rival the logo for the last World Youth Day (2016 in Cracow, Poland) in terms of ugliness, as does the Vatican’s Easter 2017 greeting card — although the winner for most hideous logo of the millennium would have to be the one used for Francis’ 2015 visit to the Philippines.
Speaking of ugliness: If you missed Francis’ trip to Fatima, be sure to check out these pictues of him wielding a “ventilator monstrance”, with which he could have poked a few eyes out.
That the emblem for World Youth Day 2019 in Panama should include another “cross-eating” monster, similar to the Pacman-style devouring of the cross by the Mohammedan crescent in the Egypt trip logo, is not really surprising, by the way. The more dishonoring of the Cross of our Blessed Lord something is, the more Francis likes it. He does, after all, think nothing of cracking a joke about the Most Holy Trinity, and he is not ashamed to use the Crucifixion of Christ as the punch line of a joke and bragging about it in a book!
Folks, there is nothing more to be said. The Novus Ordo religion is as ugly as sin itself, and they’re not afraid to show it again and again and again.
Those who have eyes to see, let them see.
