This is just cowardice on the Supreme Courts part. And the liberal left says they’re tolerant.

The description of the statue sounds very offensive. Sounds more like hate art to me.

:eek:

Warmest regards,

The Supreme Court shouldn’t be necessary to have this **** removed. Decency, Respect and Charity should make the right course of action clear.

In a way, I’m glad they declined. I’ll site it the next time I’m confronted by a pro-abortion person “offended” by the billboards showing an aborted baby.

Or, we couold take the opportunity to have a statue made of Hilary, Teddy, and Kerry holding an aborted baby saying “This is what we stand for!”

It will test the universities dedication to the principle they asserted: “However, the university refused, defending the display as art that has the purpose of engaging the community intellectually and emotionally.”
 
I fully grant it is an offensive statue, but I can’t conceive exactly what anyone thinks the courts should do about it. If this college, and its alumni can sleep knowing this atrocity is on their campus, so be it as far as the legal system is concerned. The problem with getting the courts to intervene is that it is a double-edged sword. Today they intervene on this statue, tommorow they classify Scripture as hate speech. Better to protest, pray and petition the alumni. If they can be persuaded to stop donating money, then watch protection of this statue fizzle.

The university might show their devotion to art by adding a statue of Mohammed in his Danish turban.

Most excellent point. 👍

And might I give a shout out to Ann Arbor. Woot woot. But I am quite supprised that someone in Ann Arbor, being the city that it is, cared anything about this…
 
That people tolerate this statue being out in public frightens me. It represents more than just a dissing of Catholic bishops – it’s another sign of the end of our society. It’s happening slowly enough that we’re all the laboratory frog in the slowly cooking water – most people don’t see it, and those who do are mocked just as Noah was and I fear will sooner or later have to suffer persecution. More than 30 years ago I first read II Chron. 7:14 on a bumper sticker, and in that same 30-some years, I’ve watched society sink lower and lower. The people, and especially Catholics, have not taken that verse seriously. I’m worried for my grandchildren. The church will survive, but what will happen to us in the meantime? I’ve read about what the people of God have endured in many places over the centuries, and wonder what we will be faced with in this. We are being hemmed in. Anyone reading this could make a long list of things that presage the coming persecution. But it doesn’t have to be:

“Then If my people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sin, and heal their land.” I underlined called by My Name because it was pointed out to me that it won’t take everyone, but it will take all those who call themselves Christian.

Short of repentance as in Ninevah, I don’t see any hope for society, and unfortunately, God’s people are so busy bickering with each other, that they don’t see the enemy approaching. Satan is using the method of “divide and conquer”.

I know I sound pretty hopeless, but as I watch the news, it’s how I feel.

God bless you all,

I agree. Satan is definitely using a “divide and conquer” tactic. Actually, his plan for trying to defeat the Church is two-fold: in non-democratic countries, the Church is outright persecuted, with death being the penalty for not conforming to the official religion or official non-religion (as was in the Soviet Union or as in China). Here in the U.S., his attacks are much more devious and much more dangerous: watering down the Scriptures, making others not pay as much attention to them in the long run.

You’re so right that he’s much more devious and dangerous: Catholilcs and Christians of all denominations are busy tilting at windmills while he’s busy with his destruction of society. I can’t remember who it was that said “All that’s necessary for evil to win is for good men to do nothing”, but that’s just what’s happening right now.
 
Nothing surprising here. Just the same old left-wing lunacy from the American judiciarchy. I’m amazed that the Anti-Christian Lunatics Union hasn’t stepped in to defend the statue.
The case was dismissed by the federal district judge who ruled that Washburn had a secular purpose for displaying this sculpture because “it functions to aesthetically enhance Washburn’s campus, broaden the educational experiences and increase the intellectual capacities of Washburn’s students.”

Oh, brother. :rolleyes: Come on, judge, your bias is eighteen miles wide, and can be plainly seen by anybody with half of one eye. Do you think we all fell off a pickle boat the day before yesterday? You aren’t fooling anybody with that krapp.

I wonder if they put a statue of Matthew Shepard on his knees in front of the statue of the bishop if His Judiciousness would still think it “aesthetically enhanced” the campus and served to “broaden the educational experiences and intellectual capacities” of the students?

Give me a break.
