FULL TITLE: Catholic school is forced to cover up a brand new statue after 'unfortunate' design showing a kneeling boy and a saint
A Catholic boys school has been forced to cover up a brand new statue after a rather unfortunate design created a storm on social media.
Blackfriars Priory School in Adelaide last week unveiled a statue of St Dominic handing a young boy a loaf of bread.
However the design featuring a boy kneeling at the foot of the 12th century Spanish-born saint has caused embarrassment to the inner-city school, which teaches boys from kindergarten to year 12.

5.8% are abusers of children.

More than 50% are gay.
The notion that many Catholic priests are quietly gay is not new. In the 2000 book “ The Changing Face of the Priesthood,” Rev. Donald B. Cozzens suggested that the priesthood was increasingly becoming a gay profession. Cozzens estimated that as much as 58 percent of priests were gay, and that percentages were even higher for younger priests. His numbers matched previous estimates by sociologists who put the numbers of gay priests between 10 and 60 percent.

You made that up, unlike the resources I linked to.
Although it doesn't look much like a schlong. Mine doesn't have grill marks.
Quite.
You gotta be kidding...The builder of the statue could have moved the supposed loaf of bread off to the side a little or moved it away from the body...
There's no way in the world a 'straight' man would grip a loaf of bread like that and at that level, in that position, pressed up against his dress...And the little boy pressed up against the leg of the priest...
If there wasn't anything wrong with the statue, they wouldn't have covered it up...
Really??? The Catholic leaders of the school who had it covered up were pretty embarrassed by it...They must be perverts as well, eh???
You guys are something else...You will defend anything and anything...
It appears that you missed the point.
And the exposures continue ...
You don’t surprise me.
Your Church doesn't surprise me...
Even Freud once said, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.”..................
Yep ... Some of these folks could profit from a bit of counseling. IMO, that statue is a bit of a Rorschach Test. What “you” see tells more about “you” than it does about the statue or the sculptor.
