Christianity & Creativity: Kitsch in Art

What is the real problem with kitsch, especially religious kitsch?
Does it bother you? Maybe it should.

But it is not repulsive because we are artistic snobs, who learned in college to snub our noses at shallow art.

No. We find it lacking because there is no depth in kitsch, no recognition of the struggle between good and evil, and therefore, no room for the beautiful depth of Christ conquering the grave.
