Austrian Bishop Hangs Banner of Nude Trans Activist Over Main Altar for Lent

The model's Instagram account shows many equivocal pictures of trans men, tortured faces, and homosexuals kissing, as well as a post about how abortion is a 'sacral' act

(LifeSiteNews) – The Catholic bishop of Innsbruck, Austria, inaugurated a “Lenten” decoration of the main altar of the historic University church of Saint John Nepomuk, a baroque jewel from the early 18th century. The “decoration” shows an enlarged partial inverted photograph of a naked young man with scars and tattoos lying on a bed and has been placed as an altarpiece above the tabernacle of the former main altar of the church. The piece of contemporary art by Carmen Brucic was specially chosen by Bishop Hermann Glettler, and bears the title: “Tired.”

Bishop Glettler has campaigned for the blessing of same-sex couples in the past (more on that later).

In itself, the more-than-life-size picture (4.5 by 3 meters) is completely incongruous over an altar because it has no religious meaning. But the picture of this nude young man lying on his back in an exhausted attitude, barely missing the display of his genitalia, is doubly scandalous. Besides its obvious indecency in such a setting, it portrays a prominent figure of the “queer” scene in Tbilisi, thus openly glorifying a “gay” activist from Georgia whose image will remain over the tabernacle holding the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist until the end of Lent.

Any day now the Pope is going to point his finger at zelinsky and say, “Behold, The Son of God!”.

That’ll do wonders for attendance and the offering plate.

He has desecrated sacred space that belongs to the faithful. If there is a way for Catholics to fight back, they need to do it. Their bishop is a devil.

Don’t think Jesus has ever had
much connection with the dogma of the Catholic Church. I think he’s annoyed with the corruption and always has been.

If this was at my church I would tear it down and destroy it. My wife loves me. She said she would bail me out of jail afterwards

Jesus’s connection to any church is with the people.

You would probably be charged with a hate crime, and the judge and jury would probably be gay. Good luck with that!

Our loving Creator loves the young man, faults and all.
Our loving Creator probably also loves the bishop, but that’s really pushing it even for God.
Thus bishop needs to do a lot of praying and repenting. !
