Rushdie praised at Dublin exhibition of Vatican artists

The Secretary General of the Pontifical Council for Culture Bishop Paul Tighe was speaking at the opening of an exhibition of collections by three Irish artists in Dublin who also have works on display in the Vatican.

Asked about changes in the Catholic Church due to the Synodal Pathway announced by Pope Francis, Bishop Tighe acknowledged the Synod was part of wider discussions in the Vatican. The three Irish artists featured in the exhibition opened in the newly refurbished Assembly House building on South William Street in Dublin are John Behan, Carmel Mooney and Eve Parnell.Artist Eve Parnell's work is a drawing from a Bernini sculpture of Fortitude. She focused on Justice"peeping out" at the back of the sculpture.

Artist Carmel Mooney also has a piece in the Vatican of the Nativity in Murano glass. It was bought by the Vatican when Benedict was Pope. Her work currently on display in Dublin is the prototype of that nativity scene.
