Alfred Hrdlicka's gay Jesus
Pictures depicting Jesus being fondled and the Apostles groping each
other have caused outrage after they were displayed in a museum
attached to Vienna's Roman Catholic Cathedral.The exhibition, entitled "Religion, Flesh and Power" featured works from sculptor and artist Alfred Hrdlicka.
Vienna's archbishop, Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn,
has now ordered the "homosexual orgy" picture, entitled Leonardo's Last
Supper, to be taken down. "This has nothing to do with censorship", said the Cardinal, adding that it was removed with "reverence for the sacred"... ;-)
But
other pictures which have proved also controversial, including one
showing Christ being fondled while on the cross, are still on display.
