John Paul II has repeatedly reffered to the relationship between the Church and Art. He observes that the dialogue between the Church and Art was either silenced or was marked by opposition and objection in the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century. This study points to two key questions: Does the Church need art? Does Art need the Church? The answer to the first question is affirmative. To the second question the answer is not so clear. This raises another question asked by John Paul II, “Is art diminished or deprived of a more substantial meaning if the reality which the Church presents is ignored?”. Art does indeed need the Church if is it to better understand the true vocation of Man and if it is to see that the final goal of all art is not to be found in the presentation of what is evil and immortal.
