“ . . . theologians have long theorized Christ as a woman, or as neither male nor female. As for a black Jesus, well, it doesn't take an archaeologist to figure out that Christ wasn't exactly rosy-cheeked.None of these thinkers have thus far managed to topple the Catholic Church. So let's assume that it's safe for now,
. . . a whole gang of uglies: racists who worry that if this picture stands (or hangs, as it were) they'll soon be praying to a black Jesus themselves; Grand Inquisitors like the Catholic League's William Donohue, who can't abide the notion of a Church that encompasses mild heresy; prudes offended by photographic nudity; and traditionalists so ashamed to admit that they don't ‘get it’ that they'd rather the guv'mint just clear the walls.
In other words, the kind of audience that makes an artist's career. In ‘Yo Mama's Last Supper,’ Cox may be naked, but compared to her enemies, she looks so brave and wise that she might as well be wearing the robes of an angel.
Which, after all, is the right outfit for someone who's claiming to be a Defender of the One True Faith.”

I really think that Virg or some of my other relatives, needs to go and have a private session with Dr. Ronnie Floyd.
A relative of mine? Jim? Mary? Sally? Sally's Mom?
Send this to the good Dr. and if he responds, I'll talk to him.
I just thought your Cheney work was some of your best. You have outdone yourself. Dr. Ronnie wouldn't have a clue what to do with you! Go get 'em Virg~
Excuse my confusion, but does the title of the picture imply impending cannabalism? I'm pretty sure THE PIETA lacked any such inference.
Cathy:
Thanks for your comments. Never lose faith as opposed to belief. Perhaps, with proper instruction from us, even Ronnie might see the light.

Mary would never engage in cannabilism. Who, in their right mind, would eat the body of Christ and drink his blood? The title of the photo shown is, I believe, the Pieta. Click on the link to see "Yo Mama's Last Supper."
Fundamentalists that know what Jesus looked like don't annoy me as much as those that know what he thought and said...
