Catholic University Celebrates Painting of George Floyd as Jesus Christ, Releases Report on Racism
Daily Signal, Nov 22, 2021

Paintings depicting George Floyd as Jesus Christ hang in both The Catholic University of America’s campus ministry office and its law school, The Daily Signal has learned.

Catholic University appeared to shrug off responsibility for the painting Monday, telling The Daily Signal that artist Kelly Latimore’s painting “Mama” depicts “the Virgin Mary supporting the body of the dead Christ”—although the artist has indicated repeatedly that his painting depicts both Floyd and Jesus.

“You can identify Jesus by the marks in the halo,” said Karna Lozoya, vice president for university communications. Lozoya would not further address the matter with The Daily Signal.

“The icon has no place at The Catholic University of America; it is blasphemous and an offense to the Catholic faith, but it is not surprising at all that it was put there,” a junior at Catholic University told The Daily Signal in an email. “It is just another symptom of the liberalization and secularization of our campus.”

"There are many students, faculty, and staff who are concerned about this, but there is nothing we can do,” added the student, who asked to remain anonymous out of fear of reprisal from the university administration. “And if we sound the alarm, we will be labeled racists.”

"It is just another symptom of the liberalization and secularization of our campus.”

Actually, it's further proof that satan had chewed through his leash.

One of the many salient differences between George Floyd and Jesus is that, while Jesus consorted with sinners, He did so to try and bring the Word to them, to uplift them and bring them out of their sin.  Conversely Floyd consorted with sinners in order to partake in their sins.

Catholic University should be celebrating He who consorted with sinners in order to save them, not he who consorted with them in order to join them in their sinfulness.

It's not about the sins, it's about the individual's approach to sinning.

Heresy and blasphemy. Depicting George Floyd as Jesus; and we wonder why our Republic is going down the tubes.

Whew!  The Catholic University of America was founded by US bishops and not a religious order ... should change name to A Cafeteria Catholic University of American Bishoprics.

I couldn't see the Jesuits putting up with this crap.

[Slide Rule]

Well, the Pope is woke. I suppose their tribe will be falling in line.

I am a Lutheran and we are always looking for new members.

[dfwgator]

Yet another reason I don't do the religion thing anymore.

Could we have a real depiction of St George.  You know, like in a jar of urine.  We could call it "Piss George Jesus"

[DefiantMassRINO]

That requires a taxpayer grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

[LMAO]

From the article….

And if we sound the alarm, we will be labeled racists.”


And that’s your problem. Too many people are afraid to stand up for anything because they’re afraid of a label has become meaningless

[DefiantMassRINO]

According to moonbat math, as long as there's a crucifix in that jar of urine, we should okay.

On the Moonbat periodic table of isms and phobias, being anti-Christian scores more positive points than being racist scores negative points.

It should still qualify for a NEA grant.

Woe to the Catholic church. They have zero understanding of the peril they're in. There's time for repentance, but that time is running short. I wouldn't waste a second.

Culture appropriation.  Cancel culture.  EVIL. Black supremacy.
