Armed with hammers and screwdrivers, four protestors in Avignon destroyed a blasphemous 1987 photograph of a crucifix submerged in urine. Frederic Mitterand, the nation’s culture minister, denounced the act as an “attack on the freedom of creation.”

In an impassioned April 8 statement, Archbishop Jean-Pierre Marie Cattenoz had blasted local officials who permitted the display of the photograph in . Comparing the officials to Pontius Pilate, the prelate noted that they would not have tolerated the display of a similar photograph of the Qur’an.

Here's a quote I picked up from a news source on the comment. Look at the inspiring VII (i'm sure) 'sister's' comment:

As a non-Catholic, I don’t think I can comment on whether or not Piss Christ should be considered blasphemy—I’m mostly offended by how expensive the picture was. However, Animal linked an interesting video of a Catholic art critic, Sister Wendy, who said she believes the work is “inspiring,” which you can see below.

"French honour saved."

The Renouveau français congratulates the people who brought an end to the infamous exposition of a blaspheming photo in Avignon.
It is high time that those Catholics and Frenchmen who are still awake stood up to be counted and no longer put up with these most serious insults against Catholicism and our identity. We will no longer accept being treated in this way, in our own country. Sorry to all those middle class liberals with their stupid 'art' and to the Masonic Lodges, but our country is and will remain a Christian land.
