    Crucified frog sculpture near Pope's summer holiday base provokes protests (The Times)


    Pope Benedict DCLXVI's summer break at a seminary in the mountains of northern Italy has led to demands for the removal of a "provocative" sculpture of a crucified frog on show in a nearby museum.

    Local Catholics have complained to the police that the work by the German artist Martin Kippenberger, on show at the Bolzano Museum of Modern Art, is a "public obscenity". It depicts a bright green frog with its tongue hanging out, nailed to a cross, with a beer mug in one outstretched hand and an egg in the other.

    Isn't that actually one of our un$avED from Quarantine, desperate to pull any stunt to gain approval?

      I'm unsure as to what part of the sculpture the Catlickers find offensive. Is it the depiction of Alcohol? I find that pretty darn offensive. Everyone knows drinking beer will kill a frog.
      Is it the Egg? Frogs don't eat chicken eggs as far as i know, and claiming they do is a crime against nature.
      Or is it the depiction of crucifixion? As far as I know, many people apart from Jesus were crucified - Jesus didn't have a monopoly on this form of execution, so the Frog could represent absolutely anyone killed in this fashion by the romans. Its only the Catlickers who for some reason think that the frog is Jesus.
      My Jesus is a man, a caucasian God incarnate, with blue eyes and a sort of gingery/blonde/sandy blonde/brownish beard of a tasteful length and long clean and washed hair who looks nothing like a bug eyed frog holding a beer mug in one hand and an egg in the other.
      Trust the cathlix to see a graven image and mistake it for their Lord and Saviour. Again..
      The devil, whose business is to pervert the truth, mimics the exact circumstance of the Divine Sacraments. He baptises his believers and promises forgiveness of sins...he celebrates the oblation of bread, and brings in the symbol of the resurrection. Let us therefore acknowledge the craftiness of the devil, who copied certain things of those that be divine."
      Tertullian (155-222 AD) from The Prescription Against Heretics' Ch XL

        Amen Brother, True Christians™ know that Christ has risen and our crosses do not have some pathetic icon displayed on them. I wouldn't put it past one of our Landover foreign ministry with a sense of humor was up to something with this.

          Did the Romans crucify French people?
          Matthew:
          5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
          5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled
          10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
          10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

              I didn't know whether to be offended or not. After all, the crucifix isn't exactly a symbol of our own church, rather, it is another icon of the false Christian Cathylickers. The little frog is so cute . . . is there anyway we can get him off of that cross? Then I can hang the frog in my garden and the cross on my front door.

                Why the loincloth? Frogs don't have any external naugty bits that I'm aware of.

                  Brother Sledge, you aren't related to that awful "Dash Riprock" are you?

                    Fortunately no. Those Unsaved "Rock'n'Rollers" as they call themselves stole our good family name. It has caused my family all manner of heartache for generations.
