(Carta en español en la página 5) “Wisdom, Strength” By Fr. Mark Haydu, LC
The ceiling painting by Laureti, The Triumph of Religion, is found in the Constantine Room of the
Vatican papal apartments. It is a symbolic celebration of the triumph of Christianity over
paganism, set in a classical architectural space. The remains of a crushed Hermes lie broken in
pieces on the floor, while a crucifix of Jesus Christ sits upon the pedestal.
It is fitting that this painting crowns the papal hall honoring Constantine, the first Roman emperor
to leave paganism and be baptized a Christian. Constantine had four basilicas built in Rome—
including St. Peter’s—and gave Christians freedom of religion in the Roman Empire.
The message is clear. The Romans worshiped statues of gods who were mere human creations
and projections. In the statue’s place is not just another statue but a crucifix that reminds us of a
reality, a historical event. God himself became human in Jesus Christ and showed his divine
strength by emptying himself and being crushed by our sins in order to forgive and win back a
rebellious humanity.
This show of godly power through weakness is foolishness to the Gentiles and inconceivable to
the Jews. Yet this humility and love is the wisdom that confounds and the strength that saves.
Religion isn’t a business or human invention for personal enthronement. Jesus overturns this idea
like he overturns the moneychangers’ tables. Worship of God is all about accepting his initiative
and humbly responding in the obedience of faith and the purifying joy of love. +
Religion isn’t a business or human invention for personal enthronement.

(Letter in English on page 3)
“Sabiduría, fuerza” Por el P. Mark Haydu, LC
La pintura del techo de Laureti, El triunfo de la religión, se encuentra en la Sala Constantino de los
apartamentos papales del Vaticano. Es una celebración simbólica del triunfo del cristianismo sobre el
paganismo, ambientada en un espacio arquitectónico clásico. Los restos de un Hermes aplastado
yacen rotos en el suelo, mientras que un crucifijo de Jesucristo descansa sobre el pedestal.
Es apropiado que esta pintura corona la sala papal en honor a Constantino, el primer emperador
romano que abandonó el paganismo y se bautizó cristiano. Constantino hizo construir cuatro basílicas
en Roma, incluida la de San Pedro, y dio a los cristianos libertad de religión en el Imperio Romano.
El mensaje es claro. Los romanos adoraban estatuas de dioses que eran meras creaciones y
proyecciones humanas. En el lugar de la estatua no hay una estatua más, sino un crucifijo que nos
recuerda una realidad, un hecho histórico. Dios mismo se hizo humano en Jesucristo y mostró su
fuerza divina vaciándose y siendo aplastado por nuestros pecados para perdonar y reconquistar a una
humanidad rebelde.
Esta demostración de poder piadoso a través de la debilidad es una locura para los gentiles e
inconcebible para los judíos. Sin embargo, esta humildad y amor es la sabiduría que confunde y la
fuerza que salva.
La religión no es una invención empresarial o humana para la entronización personal. Jesús da la
vuelta a esta idea como volca las mesas de los cambistas. Adorar a Dios se trata de aceptar su iniciativa
y responder humildemente en la obediencia de la fe y el gozo purificador del amor. +
La religión no es una invención empresarial o humana para la entronización personal.
