Q.:WhydoCatholicsinthis countryalwaysdepictJesusas aperoxidedblondeandHis motherashavingasnow-white skin;whenasafact,bothwere black-orasnearniggersthat itdidn'tmatter-justasIhave seenthemsorepresentedin CatholicChurchesinBelgium?

R.:Therealanswertoyour questionistodenyeachofyour statements.Catholicsinthis countrydonotalwaysrepresentMaryalwaysashavinga snow-whiteskin.Furthermore, theywerenotblackandwhat ismore,youdidnotseethem representedasniggersin Belgium.IfIhaveoverlooked denyinganyotherstatement impliedinwhatyouwrote,I giveyouleavetotakeitas deniedbyimplication.

Whatistrueisthatartists allowthemselvesagooddealof libertyinthetypeswhichthey choose,whenpaintingpictures ofJesusandHismother.Isupposeyoucouldfindexamples, inwhichtheyaredepictedas blondes.Theartistprobably takeswhatappealstohimas theidealhumanform.Herecallsthatthescripturerefersto Jesusas/hemostbeautiful amongthesonsofmen.Ifthe artistprefersablondtype,heis atlibertytorepresentChristin thatform.Wehavenoabsolu-

telyreliabledataastowhat Jesusand.Maryactuallylooked like.Andsowearefreeto representtheminthatwaythat appealsmosttoourtaste.When aChineseartistpaintsascene fromtheGospel,herepresents thepersonsinthepictures, sometimeswiththeexceptionof Judas,asChinese.Iamalways faintlyamused,whenIseea pictureofOurLord,inwhich hisJewishcharacteristicsare emphasised.Thereseemstome tobeasuggestionthattheartist imagineshehasmadeanepochmakingdiscovery,namely,that Jesuswas,infact,aJew.We aremuchmoreinterestedinthe farmoreimportantfactthatHe wasoneofus.

Idon'tknowwhereyougot theideathatJesusandHis Motherwereblack,notthatit wouldmatterintheslightest eveniftheywere.Idon'tthink youarereallysostupidasto thinkthatthepictures,and perhapsstatues,whichyousaw inBelgium,wereintendedto conveytheimpressionthatthe originalswere"niggers",asyou sobeautifullyexpressit.They wereprobablyveryoldpaintingswhichwereblackenedwith age.Or,iftheywerestatues,it maybethattheywerecarved fromsomeblackmaterial.The generaltoneofyourletter seemstosuggestthatyouare sufferingfromanoversensitive racialconsciousness,which, apartfrombeingsilly,isalso ratherun-British.
