Heroic Church vs. Murderous State by Van Dyck

Writes Ralph Raico: "I saw this at the National Gallery in London, and it's wonderful. The painting shows the Emperor Theodosius, baffled and angry because Saint Ambrose refuses him entry to the cathedral of Milan, on account of his massacre of the innocents in Thessalonica. The museum had no reproductions of this painting, nor is it shown on their website. It would be great to be able to spread this around. Maybe it's suitable for LRC?" Indeed!
