Interesting post from "a case of me", reflecting on how Handel's Messiah was controversial, denounced from pulpits, and "perceived by many ecclesiastics as profane and subversive" in its day -- and asking whether the artists treating Christian themes in secular media in our day may later be looked at with the same unquestioning endorsement the Church now gives Handel.
In a related story, does anyone ever suggest we'd better not sing "A Mighty Fortress" because Martin Luther often used profanity?
