Nude Female "Christa" Back at Episcopal Cathedral
The Institute on Religion & Democracy ^ | October 6, 2016 | Jeff Walton

Beginning today, a controversial sculpture depicting a nude female Christ on the cross is returning to New York’s Episcopal Cathedral, displayed on a chapel altar.

“Christa”, the bronze sculpture by artist Edwina Sandys, will appear alongside the work of 21 other contemporary artists according to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine web site: “all exploring the language, symbolism, art, and ritual associated with the historic concept of the Christ image and the divine as manifested in every person—across all genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and abilities.”

Depicting the SON of God as a woman is blasphemy.

How about when Castro took over Cuba? Have we come that far yet?

How about when the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia?

I don’t think even Hillary could do to America what Hugo Chavez et al did to Venezuela.

Don’t put it past Hillary to attempt to impose socialism on us, got that.

However, rumors about the death of the Constitution have been greatly exaggerated. And there are fifty states out there which take Article 10 very seriously.

Repeal the 2nd Amendment? Have at it, Hilly Boo Boo and good d@mned luck while you’re at it.

Oh and speaking of Congress, MSM speculation about either the House or the Senate flipping Democrat on November 8th (exactly one month away, folks!) has absolutely CEASED.

The dog that’s not barking, hmm?

Anyway, Obama spent two terms thinking he could bypass or override the Constitution with his phone and his pen. Hasn’t worked out that way, has it, BAMMIE?

Need to relax a bit? Google “can the president confiscate guns”. I promise you’ll read that both sides concur it’s unfeasable short of national gun registration as in Australia.

Which is not bloody likely, mate, and that’s fair dinkum.

This ridiculous thing belongs in an avant-garde art gallery, not a real church.

I guess doing a nude female Mohammed wasn’t considered edgy enough

Well put; when they appointed Caesar as Pope they surrendered any validity.
