Guerilla Artist Banksy unveils church abuse work!

Cardinal Sin... With pixels...Brilliant!

"The statue? I guess you could call it a Christmas present. At this time of year it's easy to forget the true meaning of Christianity - the lies, the corruption, the abuse."

Bahahaha!
Banksy = 1
Establishment = 0

Some more from Banksy, for those unfamiliar with his work..

Personally that is as much "art" as bad Japanese porn.

No skill was involved.

The whole Catholic church needs to be cleaned out from the top to the bottom. It is infested with liars and child predators.

We need more than sculptures, we need a Catholic revolution to demand change, the truth and for all rites to be properly restored to those they have been stolen from, our relics and the list can go on and on.

It is me, my family and blood line who would never let these atrocities happen for I feel the Vatican was high jacked long ago or our original mission tainted by vermin Popes and non-divine Catholics who abuse their authority.

This message is straight from the brotherhood on high to the Pope.

I know you all know who I AM.

Was it your priest that showed you bad Japanese porn?

I would recommend that you go all the way back to Constantine "And the gang". 4th century Nicaea...THAT is where the real message was distorted for patriarchal gain and power. Everyone since then has just been a symptom of the real problem.

I am sorry but you are wrong. It has been a constant influx of selfish and greedy Popes who simply did not know what they were doing or were committing crimes so their families could benefit. This was always the problem and my ancestors knew it.

The Golden age of the Catholic Church was the 7th-8th centuries with Saint Beda AKA Saint John for this is when the Celtic Church (Levite Church) unified with the Roman Church. We saved Rome and I can say without a doubt that without us, none of this world world be possible.

Hence, no, NOT everyone since the 4th century has been a problem. But yes, there have been many rogue popes and self appointed Gods who have committed many crimes or atrocities since the churches inception.

Says the person with an Anime avatar.....

hmm I think that should read '...easy to forget the true meaning of Christmas - the lies, the corruption, the abuse'

As far as the sculpture was concerned, I totally agree. The "80+ Beautiful Street crimes" seemed a little better. Some of it may have taken some skill, but the vast majority was just stenciled and the shaded after the fact.

All in all, not impressed. And to get this much media attention with all the aspiring artists out there.. probably has some connection to the media dynasty.

While your point is valid, it does not negate my own. Constantine and his council at Nicaea decided to truncate the data that was present at the time. This is what now makes up the modern bible. If we don't have all of the facts now, because of the systematic destruction of information that Constantine and his council deemed irrelevant (or even dangerous), then we don't *really* know what occurred in the life of Jesus. Regardless of whether or not modern believers want to say that the Bible is infallible because it is God's word, if you don't have all of the facts, you cannot make an informed decision. I definitely agree that the Popes of now and then are and were corrupt (sans a few decent ones), but I still feel that the main point that Constantine wanted to drive home was that uniform thinking/believing makes control a LOT easier to obtain. If a person cannot question the system, then the system is corrupt.

Let me please ask you this:

How do you know without a doubt that the Old Testament and or some of the original stories of Jesus etc were not changes and or fabricated? Please explain to me and everyone how you know these has historical facts by presenting evidence to your point to make your argument valid via facts to support what really is just your opinion.

Yes, things were changed and altered, but what hasn't been that we now know as our Biblical history?

Really, this argument needs to die because I know without a doubt you cannot prove this with facts. What you say is your point is really just an opinion since you cannot say without a doubt the OT or original teaching of Jesus were not at all fabricated and or made up in some way.

Let me fix that for you.

Ahahahahahaha!!

yawn 1 star

I might take a trip to the Walker and have a look at it.

I really like Banksy's work, as it's very honest and revealing the Truth of this world. Very 'In your face' work.

Hate post modern and post contemporary art? Find it to be the mirror image of the tastes of the elite degenerate parsites?

Then you will LOVE art critic Robert Hughes movie "the Mona Lisa curse".

Mr. Hughes offers a glimps of art from a unique pre-telivision view of reality. A time when art generated the same cathardic an emotional responses from people that shocking or well put together movies do. When liking at art was like going to the movies.

If I had two words to describe this movie it would be: fabulously incendiary.


I highly recommend it. There are clips on YouTube. Haha you will
not be disappointed

The message of the church is sound. As long as humans are running the church there will be sinners there. Quit you crying and help rather than being a drama queen.

"The statue? I guess you could call it a Christmas present. At this time of year it's easy to forget the true meaning of Christianity - the lies, the corruption, the abuse."

Another new one- a chemtrail ? [link to www.liverpoolconfidential.co.uk]

Who is crying?

The only way to help would be to become Pope and throw out the imposters and molesters. Otherwise, what I said above is my statement on how I feel about the church based on the question that was posed to me.

+1

He's laughing all the way to the bank, see?

Oh, yeah? Well, I also have an opinion and I happen to think that it very much IS art!

We can’t do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.
