Catholic University Features Paintings Of George Floyd As Jesus

[Daily Wire] The Catholic University of America, which refers to itself as the pontifical university of the Catholic Church in the United States, reportedly boasts paintings in its campus ministry office and outside the chapel at its law school which imitate Michelangelo’s immortal Pieta with one key difference: George Floyd is depicted as Jesus Christ.

The Pieta shows Jesus Christ being held by his mother Mary after his crucifixion. The Catholic University of America informed The Daily Signal that artist Kelly Latimore’s painting "Mama" shows "the Virgin Mary supporting the body of the dead Christ" but did not acknowledge the Christ in the painting was George Floyd.

Yet The Daily Signal photographed a description posted with the painting asserting, "Following the violent death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, Latimore created this icon in June of that year." And in an interview with The Christian Century in April, Latimore acknowledged, "It was commissioned by my partner Evie Schoenherr as a way to mourn George Floyd," adding, "The common question that people asked was, ’Is it George Floyd or Jesus?’ The fact they’re asking that question is part of the problem. My answer was yes. This nonanswer frustrated the hell out of a lot of people."

Karna Lozoya, vice president for university communications, told The Daily Signal, "You can identify Jesus by the marks in the halo."

#9 Maybe the Pope could make him Saint George, patron saint of drug overdoses. Being drug free for 550 days, St George is an inspiration to us all.

#13 All pockets turn out for inspection!
Oh, feck, it's a special collection
For Father O'Leary...
Though isn't it queer
That his rectory requires a re-roofing?
