Santo Domingo - A Catholic priest at a Dominican Republic resort town wants to destroy artwork in his parish because the painting shows angels with ?a homosexual expression?. This confuses the faithful, he argues.

The painting named "Allegory of the Virgin of Carmen," was concluded 12 years ago by Dominican artist Roberto Flores. The artwork adorns the interior of the church of ?Our Lady of Carmen? in the mountain community of Jarabacoa, an agricultural and tourist center located in the Dominican Republic.

Explaining his reason to revoke the previous decision and destroy the mural, the priest argues that the church congregation feels uncomfortable by the painting and that the mural does not inspire religious sentiments because the angels there depicted have a ?diabolical, homosexual look? in their faces. Further, he contends that it is not clear whether the angels are male or female.

Perhaps the real reason is that the angels look older than 12, and are therefore not his "type"?

Angels are androgynous so you shouldn't be able to tell if they're male or female.

And what exactly is a 'diabolical, homosexual look'?
BTW - The article itself didn't seem to put in a picture of the Allegory of the Virgin of Carmen. So here it is.



My objection would be that it kind of looks like an orgy. Never mind any insinuation of homosexuality.

Apparantly being gay is 'unnatural'. But a guy walking on water is perfectly natural.

2 Cor 11:14
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Gal 1:8
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Matt 14:24-31
[24] But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
[25] And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
[26] And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
[27] But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
[28] And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
[29] And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
[30] But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
[31] And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?


Gal 6:7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
