#2 It doesn't really look like anything to me. I think they're reading way too much into it.

#9 ...depicts the pontiff as if he is opening his cloak to embrace the faithful.

No offense but these days an invitation under the pontiff's cloak may have different connotations. Just sayin.

#10 I get the impression of a street-side urinal (fancy port-a-john), and I'm sure it will be used for such a thing if it remains there. "Ugly" doesn't begin to describe it. Try "hideous". The "artist" must have been an excommunicated Lutheran.

#12 "The sculpture "doesn't speak to me," said Gracia Gonzalez Sanchez"

It speaks to me. It says, "I'm fugly. And stupid-looking, too."
