Have to admit though - I was a little curious as to the placement of the sculpture in the transcept. You see, it almost seems to be a "stage", with two "box seats" on either side with people gawking like they're at the theater or something!! Whose idea was that anyway? Can anyone explain this one to me?

Besides being a tribute to the Corona family who paid for the work, the "theatrical" effect of the Bernini Teresa is a wonderful illustration of the mix of Art, Eros, and God in the Baroque Neo-Platonic vision---equally captured in B-16's Encyclical viewing Eros & Agape as a unity, as well as in his Balthasarian meditation on Beauty "Wounded by the Arrow of Beauty" as found in "On the way to Christ Jesus", recently published by Ignatius.
