What I fear about this sacrilegious art controversy in New York is that it will hurt public funding of the arts . I understand that art-even great art - is often irreverent and downright subversive. And freedom is the breath of life for it.
The Brooklyn Museum of Art should not be deprived of $7 million in funding for a PR gaff - insulting the " image " of the Queen of Heaven, the Virgin Mary .
We are living in decadent times, I agree. Why did Mary, the mother of Christ, inspire such great art for centuries ... and now THIS - a truly obscene work of art.
Is Satan more than an imaginary presence in this world? Even hardened skeptics must sometime wonder.
Can't common sense settle this matter - without a victory for censorship or a triumph for Satanic disrespect ?
We do not outlaw pornography - just assign it a sleazy corner in the big city. You cannot by pure accident find yourself watching " Deep Throat " upstairs at the Expo.
And don't forget your sunglasses !
