Pope Benedict XVI’s meeting with artists in 2009 was not a new beginning in the Church’s pastoral care. Rather, it continued the postconciliar reforms. Aware of the tensions between the Church and artists that marked the 20th century, the Second Vatican Council sought a mutual openness. Paul VI initiated the dialogue with artists, later continued by John Paul II. When Benedict XVI met with artists at the Sistine Chapel in 2009, he stressed the harmony between art and faith as well as between aesthetics and ethics. The Vatican will express its openness for dialogue once again at the Venice Biennale in 2013.

Work Description
On November 21, 2009 Pope Benedict XVI met with more than 250 artists at the Sistine chapel in the Vatican City. The present book offers, for the first time, a brief and deep analysis of the pastoral implications of that meeting in the historical context of the contemporary Church. Of particular value is the appendix, including ten text documents of the Magisterium of the Church about art and artists (1947−2009).
