The expo, titled, �You Had to be Born,� will remain open until Jan. 9. It is located in Madrid's cathedral and brings together the works of 24 artists.
�The Cathedral is like a womb where life is engendered for the entire diocese,� Bishop Reig Pla said during the inauguration. The message of this expo is that �Behind these thousand-year old stones, the Church is alive,� he added.
The Church calls the faithful to contemplate artistic beauty, which has its origin in God, the bishop continued. �Can there be beauty without God? Can there be order in reason without God? Can the human heart reach its goal and aspirations without God?
�The Church does not think so,� he stated.
