It is currently the largest collection of diversified Catholic art in the United States. It is located at 57 South Grubb St., Columbus, Ohio 43215.
"The great cultural tradition of the Faith is home to a presence of immense power." (from The Spirit of the Liturgy)
His Holiness Pope John Paul II
On the occasion of the Jubilee Year 2000, the Holy Father gave an address at the Vatican Museums, in which he wished to "express the Church's renewed desire to dialogue with humanity through art and culture, making available to everyone the patrimony entrusted to her by history."
His Holiness Pope St. Pius V
"Let all everywhere adopt and observe what has been handed down by the Holy Roman Church, the Mother and Teacher"
His Holiness Pope St. Gregory the Great
"Not without reason has antiquity allowed the stories of saints to be painted in holy places... For it is one thing to adore an image, it is quite another thing to learn from the appearance of a picture what we must adore. What books are to those who can read, that is a picture to the ignorant who look at it; in a picture even the unlearned may see what example they should follow; in a picture they who know no letters may yet read. Hence, for barbarians especially a picture takes the place of a book."
His Holiness Pope St. Peter the Apostle
“[M]ake every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, virtue with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with devotion, devotion with mutual affection, mutual affection with love.” (2 Peter 5-7)
