Austrian Bishop Hangs Banner of Nude Trans Activist Over Main Altar for Lent
LifeSite News ^ | 3/4/22 | Jeanne Smits

The model's Instagram account shows many equivocal pictures of trans men, tortured faces, and homosexuals kissing, as well as a post about how abortion is a 'sacral' act

(LifeSiteNews) – The Catholic bishop of Innsbruck, Austria, inaugurated a “Lenten” decoration of the main altar of the historic University church of Saint John Nepomuk, a baroque jewel from the early 18th century. The “decoration” shows an enlarged partial inverted photograph of a naked young man with scars and tattoos lying on a bed and has been placed as an altarpiece above the tabernacle of the former main altar of the church. The piece of contemporary art by Carmen Brucic was specially chosen by Bishop Hermann Glettler, and bears the title: “Tired.”

Bishop Glettler has campaigned for the blessing of same-sex couples in the past (more on that later).

In itself, the more-than-life-size picture (4.5 by 3 meters) is completely incongruous over an altar because it has no religious meaning. But the picture of this nude young man lying on his back in an exhausted attitude, barely missing the display of his genitalia, is doubly scandalous. Besides its obvious indecency in such a setting, it portrays a prominent figure of the “queer” scene in Tbilisi, thus openly glorifying a “gay” activist from Georgia whose image will remain over the tabernacle holding the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist until the end of Lent.

Boy Howdy, the Catholic Church sure is pretty fluid in it’s practices here in the 21st century. Fluid as in taking the path of least resistance.

I wonder what the pope will do? Either nothing, or get a copy of the photo for himself. The Catholic Church is lost, and I feel sorry for those who try to hang on.

Not much shocks me, but if this is real, that place needs an exorcism and that Bishop removed. Is this for real? What the eff?

The people need to pull that abomination down, strip the cassock from tha Bishop and ride him out of town on a rail.

Only the people can reclaim the Church, Jesus weeps at the neglect.

That’s me. I’m for rushing the pulpit and ripping it down. It is a purposefully infuriating and disgusting display.

Evil long ago infiltrated our churches. Infiltrating and Undermining them in a planned attack. Our churches represent and real obstacle to Evil. Attacking them from without didn’t work. So, Infiltration was the next and Obvious course of action.
Evil never rests. Goodness seems to tire far too easily in this lazy, complacent world of ours.

I agree. That Bishop is mocking all Catholics. Absolutely intentionally.

He will have no consequences to his religion power. The current head of that religion is not only not a Christian, he is a mental midget.

..........................................
She infiltrated the Church at the Second Vatican Council, 1962-1965, also correctly known as the Satan Council. It’s been all down hill since that heretical rape of Holy Mother Church.

Well, thank God he didn’t pray in Latin! Then there’d be division in the Church!
