Kevin,

I'm not questioning Faustina's sincerity. But her painting project was a cultic flight incompatible with gospel priorities. Clearly Jesus wasn't concerned with veneration of images. Mind you, I have a great affection for the riot of artistic production inspired by the Church over the centuries, including kitsch. But beatifying Faustina and declaring the weekend after Easter Divine Mercy Sunday? Sorry, I'm unmoved by JP II's desire for a Polish saint.
