There isn't really much Catholic commentary about it but there are news from non-Catholics. Arab Newspaper: Maronite patriarch's Jerusalem visit would be 'historic sin'. The pope who I see as a great politician and to my opinion a terrible pope seems to be going overboard using the barque of Peter.
The politically tone deaf pope hits hard on the pope's actions in the Holy Land.
"The logo also expresses this desire for unity, representing the embrace of Saint Peter and Saint Andrew, the first two disciples called by Jesus in Galilee. Saint Peter is the patron of the Church in Rome and Saint Andrew is the patron of the Church in Constantinople. In Jerusalem, in the Mother Church, they embrace. The two apostles are in a boat that represents the Church, whose mast is the Cross of the Lord. The sails of the boat are full of wind, the Holy Spirit, which directs the boat as it sails across the waters of this world." (from Vatican News)
I don't like the logo. It reminds me of this photo. The Peter in the logo looks so much like Jesus in the icon.
It's probably the way they embraced, too, in the logo looks so much as the embrace of Judas.
