Catholic School Forced To Cover Up (Accidentally) Inappropriate Statue of Saint

 

It's hard to believe no one noticed prior to the erection of the statue...

 

I believe it's hard not to have noticed prior to the erection of the erection....bread is commonly known as the staff of life.....

 

dirty minds can only think one way.

 

'clean minds' can only think one way....'dirty minds' have ever so more flexible ways of thinking

 

Not a good idea to Pi** off an artist, they can get "artistic" in their revenge.

 

Hey! I modeled for that statue!

 

You should have sued the artist for sculpting a roll instead of a baton!

 

The paradox in woman's lib, you can only take offense to inappropriate language if you understand that it is indeed sexual in nature, but how can you know that it is so if you have not heard it before? If she is truly naive, it is almost impossible to make an innuendo that can be construed to be sexual by the recipient, this is the basis of all the "dumb blonde" jokes. Outlawing "hate" speech creates a real problem, you either list the word and thus give it legitimacy as a definition to be used to deride a group and end up with situations in which context defines hate, as Jew is correct as a member of the Jewish religion, but dumb jew, is an insult and may be hate speech. We have reached that point with the word "black" in New Hampshire. It is almost required to refer to a racial group as Black, as colored, Negro, African American, all have implied insults to some members of that racial group, but writing the graffiti "blacks live here", on the wall of a house in which they do in fact live, can get you arrested for hate speech and fined or jailed. I love the statue and all that is implied. Hits all the buttons, chelloveck notices the religious effects of church and staff of life and the implied faults of the church's moral leadership, it could be seen as child pornography, child in close proximity to Implied male organ, it could be perceived as the destruction of innocence, naive child and knowledgeable adult with harmful attentions, and so on. I hope that it was deliberate and would love to know who the artist was as by the simple positioning of the staff of life, he has transformed a stock meaningless religious statue found in thousands of places, into either a symbol of true naivety or a very clever attack on the status quo and it requires a "dirty mind", ie, you have eaten the apple, to even understand that it might be more than it appears.

 

People in the World today. :sigh:
To me, it appeared as though he were handing the child a piece of bread.
I would seriously wonder about anyone who would think otherwise.

 

Careful chelloveck, the moderators may ban you for that deceitful Youtube video on making a baton, at one point it greatly resembles a costume that appeared at the Washington Women"s Lib parade, at about 1:20, description not to be used on a family forum, only to be displayed on National Main Stream Media, unless I ate two apples. Or have you once again put one over on me? You can get so da** "artistic" at times.
It would appear that you may have added another level to the artists statue with that video. I imagine the transgender crowd will attack now as it definitely implies that at least in making bread, genders are we shall say "shaped by the maker". Now is that hate speech if you don't believe in religion?

 

It apparently was students of the school in question that put images of the statue out via social media......if the Catholic Church didn't 'enjoy' so much infamy for its handling of child sexual abuse in its churches, schools, and other institutions world wide, perhaps the association might no be so readily connected regards the statue. The statue represents a lack of due diligence on the part of those who commissioned and authorised the installation. It is the kind of dilemma that Islam tends to avoid, by making religious images of humans and other animals, Haram.

 

I think you may be experiencing some pareidolia.....I'd probably eat it though....the baton bread that is

 

Little snowflakes in the making.
I stand by what I said.

 

They just may be good Catholic snowflakes.....with a better understanding of the real world, than some of their other worldy 'father confessors' apparently....Just because these students may see the absurdity of a badly thought out and executed concept, doesn't make them snow flakes....given time, and depending on how successfully they have been indoctrinated into the Christian faith, they may well become the kind of heart hardened conservative theists that are occasionally to be seen in this place.

As to your 'what is the world coming to' style comment, the world pays much less heed to religious authority than used to be the case in the past....given that religious institutions have squandered much of that authority by the abuses to which that authority has been put. It is a continuing contest, that yard by yard, year by year, religious organisations are having to adapt, and become more benign, or remain unchanged, and shrink into irrelevant oblivion.

 

Not very likely.

Considering the fact that neither of us will change the other's mind, perhaps we can just agree to disagree.

 

Changing your mind is not my objective: I have a wider audience in mind, who may be able to give a considered evaluation of our relative positions.

 

Reminds me of this gem. Lol.

 

Wonderful. I'm happy for you.
