Pope and meteor art from 1960

The glass is what makes this one so weird really~

The artist was born in the 60's... the piece is from 1999....

So?

This is from 1999 not 1960,suposed to be Jean-Paul 2.So nothing weird.

And the past changes. In small ways, but it changes. I am from a universe without the Walker Brothers, for example.

You think it's not odd that someone photographed a pope hit by a meteor with broken glass all around and this week a pope resigns and over a thousand injured by a meteor causing broken glass?

I didn't either.

One of his most famous artworks is a sculpture of Pope John Paul II hit by a meteorite, titled La Nona Ora (The Ninth Hour), made in 1999. It was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London as part of the prestigious Apocalypse show, and was sold at Christie's for $886,000.

This is La Nona Ora. I believe it was done in 1998 or 1999, not the 1960s. It's contemporary pop art, nothing more.

Not to mention the fact that a meteor that big would weigh about 1000 lbs as opposed to volcanic rock which would weigh only about 150 lbs.Probably not too comfortable having a 1000 lb rock on your legs. I had to edit this to say t thought it was a painting i didn`t realize it`s a wax sculpture. So i guess it wouldn`t matter how heavy the rock was.

it says volcanic rock not a meteor rock

Notice how the Pope, although being injured and clearly in pain, wont let go of Christ. Wont let the cross fall to the ground.

In that situation most people would. Their first reaction would be to drop the cross and get rid of the stone, the burden hurting them.

But the Pope wont. He`s holding it tight. On his shoulders is the entire burden.

The Pope resigned cause he was asked to do something heinous, something terrible to his faith.

My gut has said since he resignation that its related to the snake in the whitehouse.

The Pope was told to accept homosexuality. The snake in the whitehouse has made it his sole mission of presidency. To hell with economy, border and terrorism, lets force Christians to accept gays.

I believe Pope resigned cause of similar reason. Somebody blackmailed him.
