Boston, Mass., May 18, 2023 / 14:51 pm Following concerns expressed by the Archdiocese of New York, a Manhattan Catholic church has changed the name of an art display from “God Is Trans: A Queer Spiritual Journey” to “A Queer Spiritual Journey.”
The alteration of the display at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle comes following a firestorm online reacting to photos shared on social media in early May, with many critics calling the display “blasphemous.”
The artwork is still on display at the 19th-century mother church of the Paulist Fathers in a side chapel dedicated to St. Agnes.
The description has also changed slightly. The words “God Is Trans” have been removed from the first sentence.
The placard accompanying the display says the artwork “maps the queer spiritual journey” and says “there is no devil.”
The name and description were revised by the artist, Adah Unachukwu — a student at Fordham University — and the Paulists Fathers’ New York City “artist-in-residence” Father Frank Sabatté.
When CNA reached out to Sabatté for comment, he referred questions on the new title and description to the Center on Religion and Culture at Fordham University, a sponsor of the art exhibition at the church, “Vessel: A Spiritual Art Experience.”

Must watch on youtube is Sinclair Ferguson 2016 conference christ’s message to the church.
“He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.”
Got does get angry at us - but it doesn’t last forever.
In the long-term, the destruction of Jerusalem and 70 years in exile was but a blip in history.
God will not be mocked.
The Catholic Church is the one church I thought would be the roadblock for all this gay and trans crap. Boy was I wrong! I knew that there were priests that were gay or pedos but I never thought that the whole church would accept this pure evilness.
Jesus had Judas. A traitor out of the 12.
We can expect no less. It doesn’t mean the whole church is bad.
