Beauty is the most important value among the Good, the True, and the Beautiful (though of course, they are one and the same in essence). But we can easily be misled about the Good and the True- the Beautiful is much harder to confuse. Anyone seeing this transformation knows deep down that it is horrifying because it is objectively the transformation from Beauty to Ugliness, in every sense of those words. We don't really need to marshal 'rational' arguments as to why this is bad, it's self evident. Instead, they have to come up with volumes of lies to tell us that the our immediate revulsion and pity is wrong. Trust your instincts regarding the Beautiful. Cf. von Balthasar
