I think the problem is that the art and its subject matter is supposedly connected with not only his philosophy but his sexual and evil tendencies. "Marking territory" if you will.

It's trashy, derivative, and tacky anyhow. We're not talking about much artistic merit here. Coarse lines, deliberate disproportion of figures (especially eyes and hands), very imitative and predictable - pretending to imitate Byzantine icons but missing the whole point. In other words, far too typical of the "modern" or "contemporary" Catholic ethos.

This may help explain: What Marko Rupnik's art tells us about the modern Catholic Church

Thomas Edison electrocuted a circus elephant to promote direct current electricity, should we get rid of everything that runs on direct current?

Nazi Werner Von Braun invented modern rockets, should we end space exploration?

This twisted concept of morality is asinine.
