Once again, as long as you are bashing Christians, you can do it with impunity.

I'm sure the next statue will be of a Muslim wearing a suicide bomber's belt and dragging his wife along by a dog leash.

All to further discussion on campus and to beautify the surroundings.

If the world doesn't hate us, we're not trying hard enough.

I wouldn't let it bother me. Let 'em have their fun while they can.

Let me get this straight. It is okay to use public-funds (i.e. your tax dollars and mine) to mock a religion, but not to celebrate it or recognize it's place in history.

Odd. The Sanhedrin of Jewish commentators, so loud over the "Passion", are not flooding the media with their outrage over this. Where are Frank Rich and little Chuckie Krautheimer? Where is the soon to be renamed ADL?

I know both Medved and Rabbi Lapin will have the decency to stand against the defamation of a religion not their own, but I expect few others, Christian, Muslim, or Jewish to object to this state sponsered mockery of religious belief.

I add the disclaimer that I am neither Christian, Muslim, nor Jew.

Sounds like some civil disobedience is in order here. A bit of dynamite should do the job. If it's OK for the Mayor of San Francisco to ignore the law, it must be OK for Catholics with equally strong feelings to do the same.

Oh! Wait! I forgot. Outrage is only an excuse for the left.

NAMSMAN sends.

This is the moral equivalent of a burning cross in the front yard of a black family.

It is an outrage, and it is sickening that such defamation is described as 'art'. It is not.

This case has been under discussion for some time now. Has any newsprint outlet printed or a photo of the statue?

If the mitre clearly resembles a phallus, I'm not sure how this can be considered an aesthetic enhancement of campus life. Campus beautification? Open season on Catholics, all year round, eh what?

I'd like to see the reaction if the statue depicted a Jewish caricature and titled "money grubbing." This statue is hateful and bigoted and should be removed.

Beautification = Penis Hat.

Is Andrew Sullivan on the board at this college?

"Once again, as long as you are bashing Christians, you can do it with impunity."

That's a fact. Christians have got to rise up and confront this blatant and obvious attack on their faith. My God, if the statue showed Mohammed with one of his child brides the ACLU and all the liberals in America would be crying foul, and shouting "Racism!" and "Intolerant!" at the tops of their voices. Christians have got to start fighting back, and soon.
