Male Domination Art, Part 3: The Prurient Church

In the 13th Century, the Black Death took the lives of some 30 - 60% of  Europeans.  Germs were unknown and unknowable; who would  be struck down in horrible agony was arbitrary; humans do not like arbitrary control over their lives; fantastic theories were developed to explain the deaths, though not more fantastic than the religions, political, and economic theories used to explain the millions of arbitrary deaths by bombs and bullets that the 20th Century featured.


One saint in particular was though to be able to persuade God to spare you if you were devout enough.  Sebastian was venerated because, though he was shot through with arrows, his faith was so strong that he survived.

Here are paintings of Sebastian, painted by some of the finest painters who ever lived.   The paintings were commissioned by the Church to lure back folks who had fallen away because of the Black Death or because the Evil Reformation was underway in the North of Europe.  See if you might have been lured back, if there were no internet pictures to peer at.

Did we really pierce Cassius Clay, then the most famous person in the world, wit arrows?

I guess we did.

Men are cruel, but none so cruel as to lock some away in a little concrete box, indefinitely, sometimes for lie; none so cruel, that is, as Governor Pat Brown of California.

Prisoners in solitary confinement are allowed no human contact, ever.

The Exercise Yard, into which one is allowed one hour out of every 24

The California prison at Pelican Bay disciplines prisoners with "indefinite detention" as a disciplinary measure, so the discipline is not forbidden by the Constitution, though the detention may least a lifetime, and it drives men mad.  Government-enforced solitary confinement that drives men mad is neither cruel nor unusual, so say a majority of our Supreme Court, for which my confidence wains daily. that drives you insane is not


I'd rather be in a prison in El Salvador
