Abstract

The implementation of the Political Theology project, which aimed to create new versions of the Divine Mercy image taken during the apparitions of St. Faustina in the 1930s, was subjected to devastating criticism in the Więź article. The issues raised by the article's author, who is a linguist, deal with complex issues in the theology of visuality. The theses contained therein fall short of the knowledge in this field. This article attempts to correct the errors contained in the Więź article. The analysis shows that not only the criticism of the project, but also the project itself, along with its implementation, contain a number of glaring flaws and irregularities. One of the conclusions is that the inadequate research base and lack of competence in the fields that the project unauthorizedly attempts to represent, instead of solving complex problems, make them even more intricate.

Keywords:
