Follow-up (17-Apr) hxxp://www.newsok.com/to-end-warr-acres-church-controversy-artist-will-modify-crucifix/article/3454703WARR ACRES — Churchgoers are outraged over a crucifix in a Catholic church that they say shows an image of genitalia on Jesus.
The controversial crucifix has caused a deep divide among members of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, where it hangs above the main altar.
"There are a couple people who have left the parish,” said the Rev. Philip Seeton, the church’s pastor. "There are people in the parish who don’t like it and have stayed.”
Critics of the crucifix take issue with what appears to be a large penis covering Jesus’ abdominal area. Seeton said the portion of the crucifix in question is meant to be Jesus’ abdomen "showing distension” — not a penis.

The best news story I've read in a while :clap2:
Apparently, the parishioners have no problem seeing a guy nailed to pieces of wood and bleeding profusely. -

Apparently, the parishioners have no problem seeing a guy nailed to pieces of wood and bleeding profusely.Exactly, a penis is much more frightening!!! It is clear to me that this is bad artists rendition of the Crucifix as there is no way that penis' are located that high on the abdomen and why bother with a loincloth at all if your intentions were to show Jesus' penis!!!
