Art and Beauty in the Catholic Tradition

with Stanley Konopka

Art and Beauty in the Catholic Tradition

Is beauty a necessity or a luxury in faith and worship? Isn’t beauty a matter of personal preference? What does beauty have to do with dogma? Stanley Konopka, assistant principal violist with The Cleveland Orchestra, will discuss these questions and more with Franciscan University Presents host Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, president of Franciscan University of Steubenville, and panelists Dr. Scott Hahn and Dr. Regis Martin of Franciscan University’s Theology Department.
