Chocolate Jesus exhibit cancelled

Chocolate Jesus exhibit cancelled
Saturday, 31 March 2007, 08:08 GMT 09:08 UK



A New York art gallery has decided to cancel an exhibit of a chocolate
sculpture of Jesus Christ after protests by a US Catholic group.

The six-foot (1.8m) sculpture, entitled "My Sweet Lord", depicts a naked
Jesus Christ with his arms outspread.

The sculpture, by artist Cosimo Cavallaro, was to have been displayed from
Monday at Manhattan's Lab Gallery.

The timing, over Easter Holy Week - the most important part of the Christian
year - provoked an outcry.

The Roger Smith Hotel housing the Lab gallery decided to cancel the
exhibition after the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights called
for a boycott.

'Strong-arming'
"We're delighted with the outcome," said Kiera McCaffrey, spokeswoman for
the League.

Ms McCaffrey had called the exhibit "an assault on Christians".

"They would never dare do something similar with a chocolate statue of the
Prophet Mohammed naked with his genitals exposed during Ramadan."

The Lab gallery's artistic director, Matt Semler, has offered his
resignation, saying the decision to cancel the exhibition was a result of
"strong-arming from people who haven't seen the show, seen what we're doing.

"They jumped to conclusions completely contrary to our intentions," he said.

Mr Semler said the timing of the exhibition - when Christians mark the
crucifixion and resurrection of Christ - was coincidental.

Canadian-born Mr Cavallaro is known for using food ingredients in his art,
on one occasion painting a hotel room in mozzarella cheese.

He used 200 pounds (90 kg) of chocolate to make the sculpture which,
unusually, depicts Jesus without a loincloth. It showed him suspended in air
with his arms spread wide, as if crucified.

Heard about this. Wasn't it protested by the Catholic League for Shoving A Hot
Poker Up Somebody's Ass?

As I said elsewhere, the artist should have sculpted a six-foot chocolate priest
****ing an altar boy. Wouldn't the protestors have found that bittersweet!

The only protester is Big Mouth Bill Donahue of the Catholic League. He
speaks for nobody except himself, but he has managed to convince idiots
in the media that he speaks for Catholics. He doesn't. The man is an
embarrassment. He does speak for some Catholics----the anti-Semitic
nutcases the rest of us are ashamed of.

Are you saying the people who were offended should not have been
allowed to protest? How very liberal of you.

Can either of you show where Roger posted that the protests should not

Lies -- it's all you have now. Sleep well with them.

Shows you just how stupid the Rightard-bent Catholics are.

If the idiots would just stop and think about it, receiving communion
using pieces of a chocolate Jesus would not only be scrumptious, it
would increase recruitment in the Catholic church. It beats the **** out
of stale wafers. It could also beat the **** out of chocolate bunny
sales on Easter.

He didn't say that asshole.
Funny how Catholic leadership is offended by a Chocolate Jesus (something
that wouldn't have bothered Jesus one bit) but the Catholic leadership was
happy to cover up the raping of little boys.
The folks who run the Catholic church aren't worth their weight in spit, and
Jesus has no use for them what so ever. Anybody who cowers and submits to
the pope is a fool or a retard.

The original poster didn't say anything of the kind. You're a liar, and thus
you make a great example of Catholicism. You fake your "love of god" while
shitting on his words.

> pose themselves as freedom loving..

Nothing Christians hate more than other people's freedom to laugh at
Christians.

Well said.

I'm a former Catholic and know many devoted Catholics. He's a nutcase who
doesn't seem to know what being a Christian or American is even about. He's
nothing like the Catholics I know.

I'm saying that there was this story on the web and that I thought people in
these groups might be interested.

It's interesting that YOU ASSUMED what you did.
