I highly doubt the pope has built a throne to Satan. The figure in the middle looked more like Jesus to me.

what a pile of bullshit... it looks nothing like it!!

Lady_Alison

it looks like jesus rising out of hell... traditionally jesus entered into hell and released all the souls during the three day period after his death and until his resurection...

is this possible? it is lent period... i think it's a little tim burton to me.

Supposedly it is Jesus.

The backdrop is called 'The Resurrection and is a statue depicting Jesus
rising from a nuclear bomb crater, created by Pericle Fazzini for Pope

Paul VI in '77 for the indoor settings for general

audiences with the Pope.

Leon - shut up...!

Telly03

Religion needs the fear of hell to exist, so why not illustrate and respect it.

Lady_Alison

ahahahahah! you can not get pass the great and powerful fede!!!

federica

It's not so much the sculpture...it's this nonsensical fatima website - i mean, it's on a par with "michael jackson makes love to cuddles" headlines...who writes that rubbish?

@LeonBasin.... have you got a job we don't know about?

Lady_Alison

no offense leon, but sometimes i don't click on your links...they come from questionable sources and i'm afraid to get a virus on my computer... your computer is probably full of parasites!

back to topic

RichardH

very busy sculpture.

Dandelion

Lol, I'm with @RichardH on this one! It's not pleasing to the eye (not for me anyway) but I suppose I'm missing the point. It's scary.

"it is a statue depicting Jesus rising from a nuclear bomb crater."

What the hell? That's pretty random.

Religion needs the fear of hell to exist, so why not illustrate and respect it.

Jews don't believe in a Hell. Hindu's don't believe in a Hell, per se. Buddhists don't. Taoists don't. Religion doesn't need Hell to survive.

Mountains

"Creepy" was the first thing that popped into my head. Verrrrrrry creepy. And then there's the sculpture

Lady_Alison

Jews and Muslims believe hell is TEMPORARY. only as a means to purge.

Remember bekenze?

A little blurb on the sculpture! Can you imagine cleaning that freak show! How many hail Marys and our fathers would that take.

Lady_Alison

When he created it in 1977, Fazzini explained that the statue shows Jesus rising from the crater of a nuclear bomb. “The Resurrection” is made from bronze and measures 66 feet tall and 23 feet wide.

LostSoul

The pope is the antichrist?

LOL. That's what I got from it...

ThailandTom

My thoughts are this, it is a religious gathering and some art director was given the job to design the backdrop and they were either on acid or they went a bit OTT. Those are my thoughts

Yes of course, but the ones in the pic do

I think people are reading wayyyyy too much into this, it is one or a few people's idea to design the decor, not a religous group...

Invincible_summer

I think it's pretty metal.

IronRabbit

This sculpture looks like a William Blake nightmare....

It's the religious group that frightens me... not the sculpture.

ThailandTom

What you mean Christians? The photo has been removed so I do not recall properly, I remember the pope being in it though. You are scared of the pope?
