Rome's New Statue: "Wow is it ugly"

"I have to say that this statue is even worse than the one inside the entrance of the Vatican museums. That statue, titled “Varcare la soglia” (Crossing the Threshold), is a slab of marble with a bas relief of John Paul II on each side, apparently shoving a goofy-looking, modern, cell-phone clutching man out of the block of marble. I was stunned when I first saw it."

  1. Unfortunately the Catholic Church has not only ugly arts but also evil arts. Of course those are "Smoke of Satan".
    I should appreciate it if you would be patient enough to read my poor English.

You've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?"
