News item: Catholics angry over naked chocolate Jesus at NY gallery

Roman Catholics witness the Roman handiwork upon the body of the one they call their Lord,
rendered in chocolate, hanging from a cross, and protest the ultimate indignity –
his genitals shown for all to see, a dangling obscenity –

A scandal! For shame!
Shield the children! Hide their eyes!
It’s all lies –

for this was the Son of God, never the Son of Man!

Denounce now this insult to the Catholic flock -
the chocolate cock of the crucified Christ – a ludicrous fiction,
a pornographic blasphemy!
The ultimate indignity –
a blow to our beliefs, a blow to our faith,
a chocolate cock!
Don't we have the right to never be mocked?

And while we’re at it, the edible Christ
is bread and wine,
never chocolate!
