All I can say is:

WHAT.
THE.
F$@K.

This is how saints USED to look:

Does it not seem like that guy is about to stuff a pillow over the patient's face at any moment? Saint Kervokian, I presume.

No, not particularly.

But one has to admit that a lot of the recent portraits display terrible artistic taste. Some don't, though. A few are photographs, actually.

That´s what I was thinking... well, JP2 was from Poland, so I guess it figures...
 
Who the heck is he? The patron saint of microscopes? Or Maybe bedside manner?
