Pope Anus Invites “Avant-Garde Artists” to Rome, Guests Include the Piss Christ Guy

What are people supposed to do about this “pope”?

He is just destroying everything, and there is no option for the actual faithful to do anything to stop him.

Breitbart:

Pope Francis stunned the faithful this weekend when he welcomed some 200 avant-garde artists in the Sistine Chapel, including photographer Andres Serrano, creator of the controversial “Piss Christ” work showing a crucifix submerged in a glass of urine.

The pontiff received the artists to mark the 50th anniversary of the Vatican’s collection of contemporary art, telling them that like the biblical prophets, “you confront things that at times are uncomfortable; you criticize today’s false myths and new idols, its empty talk, the ploys of consumerism, the schemes of power.”

“You can see things both in depth and from afar, like sentinels who strain their eyes, peering into the horizon and discerning deeper realities,” the pope told the assembled artists. “In doing so, you are called to reject the allure of that artificial, skin-deep beauty so popular today and often complicit with economic mechanisms that generate inequality.”

Serrano’s 1987 photograph generated enormous press, with many decrying the 60-by-40-inch image as blasphemous. The artist, who describes himself as Catholic, claimed to have submerged the crucifix in a glass of his own urine.

When “Piss Christ” was exhibited in 1989, some 50 U.S. senators and 150 representatives complained that the taxpayer-funded National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) had financed the exhibition and the NEA’s budget was eventually cut as a result.

While supporters contended that the controversy over “Piss Christ” was a matter of artistic freedom and freedom of speech, Australian Archbishop (not yet cardinal) George Pell sought an injunction in 1997 from the Supreme Court of Victoria to prevent the National Gallery of Victoria from publicly displaying the work.

Your art “strives to act as a conscience critical of society, unmasking truisms,” Pope Francis told the artists in Friday’s audience. “You want to make people think, to be alert; you want to reveal reality also in its contradictions and in those things that it is more comfortable and convenient to keep hidden.”

“As visionaries, men and women of discernment, critical consciences, I consider you allies in so many things that are dear to me, like the defense of human life, social justice, concern for the poor, care for our common home, universal human fraternity,” Francis told the artists in his address.

I understand why the Sedevacantist movement is gaining traction (that is, people who believe the seat of the pope is vacant, because the current pope is a fake pope).

Defenders of the Vatican will say that there have been bad popes before, which is true, but I don’t think there’s ever been another pope who was at war with Christianity in this super-aggressive manner.

No one new is going to come into the Church because it has gone full anal and full “Piss Christ.” So the only possible goal is to drive out the faithful, or corrupt them.

We are dealing with Satan in charge of the Church.
