Question

What's the Pope's problem. Nothing wrong with a green frog is there?

Answer 1

I think it's pretty silly given that Catholicism (or Christianity in general for that matter) does not have a monopoly on Crucifixion. It was a very common punishment, especially for run away slaves. But since one unfortunate carpenter was executed on a cross as a political dissident, anyone else using a cross or crucifixion is apparently blasphemous. But then again I also think that it's rather bad taste to use an instrument of torture and execution as the symbol of one's faith.

Answer 2

Blasphemy apparently

So it's ok for him to moan about something irrelevant and ignore poverty!

Answer 3

the pope is a hypocrite, the vatican's evil is croaked in secrecy

the pope is also an idiot, by moaning about the frog hes playing straight into the hands of the artist and giving him the free publicity he wanted

so much for being infallible

Answer 4

I dont get it either...i think the original crucifix with christ dying is blasphemous enough.Why does no one see that as offensive?

Answer 5

Answer 6

I thought it was funny. Poor froggy though, but it's only a sculpture.

Answer 11

It is a rich but sad irony since the Pope is himself a blasphemy.

Answer 12

There is nothing wrong with the green frog, but what exactly is it suppose to represent.  

Answer 13

Nothing. But the Pope still needs to try and justify his job.

Answer 14

?

Answer 15

If anyone is going to use their freedom of speech to create a sculpture portraying a crucified green frog holding a beer mug and an egg then they must allow others to use their freedom of speech to approve or disapprove of the "art".

The Pope has simply used his freedom of speech to disapprove of the piece of "art" in question and declaring it as "blasphemous."

Blasphemy is speech, thought, or action involving contempt for God or the Church, or persons or things dedicated to God.

Answer 16

Don't recall him being outspoken about the n***s when he was playing at being a Hitler Youth.

But then, it was only Jews, Gypsies and Communists that were being persecuted at that time. Green Frogs hadn't been invented then.
