Baffling

Fr Z comments on a grotesque-looking sculpture of Blessed Restituta Kafka who was murdered by the Nazis during Second World War that was commission and blessed by Cardinal Christoph Schönborn of Vienna.

The episode betrays a lack of a sense of beauty and aesthetics as well as poor judgement by the Archdiocese of Vienna.

I'm with many of the commenters - what's happening to Cardinal Schönborn? I've been kind of a fan of his - he's a protege of Cardinal Ratzinger's.

The Church is Austria certainly is known for it's irregularities though...
