The Catholic University of America (CUA) in Washington, DC, has hung two copies of a painting of George Floyd in the role of Jesus Christ in the arms of the Virgin Mary, which some students are decrying as “blasphemous.”The icon by Kelly Latimore, titled Mama, is exhibited outside the chapel at the Catholic University of America’s Columbus School of Law as well as in its campus ministry office. Blayne Clegg, a junior at the university, said he was shocked when he spotted the painting hung on campus some weeks ago, calling the conflation of George Floyd with Jesus Christ “heretical, blasphemous idolatry,” Media Entertainment Arts WorldWide (MEAWW) reported Wednesday.

Reason # ?????? why I don't attend church or adhere to a 'mainstream' religion. To give people like this money is insanity.

Mainstream Churches have all turned to the dark side... Catholic, Lutheran, Protestant, Presbyterian... They are no longer Christ centered, they are Woke centered. Disgusting.

Just another major Catholic University operating without any adult supervision.

As a graduate of their law school, I'm absolutely appalled!
For anyone wondering why the world is turning upside down, it's because the Pope and schools like this have adopted the WOKE agenda! Fortunately, enough Americans are waking up to the dangers they all present!

Another reason why I am not a Catholic anymore—at least not (and never) a woke one.

Don’t fall for Satan’s tactics. The Church is still Christ-centered. Look beyond the actions of the lunatic fringe, Christ is still there. Satan wants us to wallow in tempests such as this and go astray. Don’t do it. My deliverance does not come from CUA or any artwork they display.
On another note, if students are upset, let them do battle with the university. Calling all modern day Joans of Arc.

Not a very good likeness of floyd. I dont think the university would go that insane. Floyd had a distinct flat nose the painting doesnt. The depiction is black but jesus may have been pretty dark.

I think I have spotted a couple of potential issues with this depiction...
1. Jesus was not a shoplifting dope-head counterfeiter.
2. George Floyd is still dead.

#6, don’t paint me, a Wisconsin synod Lutheran with your moniker of liberal. It’s only the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America that is liberal—the rest are pretty conservative.

Catholic U. does not speak for the Church. This is yet another university turning away from its Catholic identity, and they chose a rather offensive way to do that. I plan to watch how the school's local bishop responds to this stunt.

The only people who can stop this insanity are the alumni donors. They need to speak loudly and clearly by withholding their donations!!!

They can depict George Floyd as anything they’d like, unlike Christ, he ain’t rising from his grave. That difference is all that matters.

Probably the idea of some woke administrator or trying to placate some woke alum. Either way, it's blasphemy. Catholic used to be a good school.

I no longer trust my Government, and now my Church is becoming untrustworthy.
The Catholic Church has survived man bad things and many bad Popes,but I am not sure it can survive the woke crowd. I look around and see many Church's starting up in my community, and they are starting up with many Catholics that are leaving the Catholic Church. People do not want to give up on God, but they have had about enough of the Church hierarchy that is running it.

This finally prompted me to write:
After reading today’s previous provocative postings, it’s apparent that the antics of the left are becoming so much more egregious, reaching to the point of instigating actual war. The left is rapidly becoming less restrained in their outrageous provocations than ever before! This cannot go on!

Just one thing the Taliban did that was good, was to paint out all the George Floyd murals when they took over Afghanistan. Muslims are not woke in that sense.
