Virgin Mary 's Condom

• Catholic

The object is meant to draw attention to the Roman Catholic Church's lies about prophylactics.

... Steve Rosenthal, offered readers a chance to buy a "a stunning 22cm statue of the Virgin Mary standing atop a serpent, wearing a delicate veil of latex" ...

Vittorio Messori ... expressed horror at the way the sperm cup at the end of the condom had been arranged so as to sit on top of the Virgin's head, "like a grotesque cap replacing the royal crown of tradition".

Where can I order one? How much do they cost?

I find it ridiculous that there is someone out there with enough time on their hands to create such a statue. I understand that he is attempting to make a point with this "piece of art". Our right to free speech is clearly wasted on this so-called artist. I mean, give me a break. He probably thinks that he is some kind of asset to society. I wish that people would quit spending their time worrying about the beliefs of others and spend their time actually doing something productive. As a Catholic, (non practicing), I am not offended by this. But rather I am amazed at the stupidity of the individual responsible for this statue.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Virgin Mary 's Condom. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
