Priest wants a painting removed from a church because of angels looking ''gay'' - Polidicks

[quote] Santo Domingo - A Catholic priest at a Dominican Republic resort town wants to destroy artwork in his parish because the painting shows angels with “a homosexual expression”. This confuses the faithful, he argues. The painting named "Allegory of the Virgin of Carmen," was concluded 12 years ago by Dominican artist Roberto Flores. The artwork adorns the interior of the church of “Our Lady of Carmen” in the mountain community of Jarabacoa, an agricultural and tourist center located in the Dominican Republic. The priest Johnny Duran sparked the controversy surrounding the painting, after promoting the adoption by the Jarabacoa City Council of a resolution that revokes an earlier statement by the same council that designated the mural as municipal heritage. Explaining his reason to revoke the previous decision and destroy the mural, the priest argues that the church congregation feels uncomfortable by the painting and that the mural does not inspire religious sentiments because the angels there depicted have a “diabolical, homosexual look” in their faces. Further, he contends that it is not clear whether the angels are male or female.

[QUOTE=_Chewgum;34327630]i think jesus was the most gay looking, has long hair, wears a dress and shit[/QUOTE] I think the churches have it wrong. Jesus was probably a badass looking dude to be a carpenter (no machines back in that day meant you had to be pretty manly for that job)

Weird and unsettling. I'd ask my family if they saw anything unusual in this picture but I'm afraid I'd get slapped if I said the stomach looked like a dick.

In the church's defense, angels are pretty fucking gay.

this made me laugh

Angels are supposed to be neither female nor male so what the fuck is this.

He's probably a closet homosexual, and the painting is mocking him about it so he wants it gone.
