Rodney Pople 'art' Reparation Vigil

On Saturday the 18th of September 2010 over 150 faithful Catholic's came to pray, offer penance and make Reparation to Almighty God for the Sacrilegious 'art' exhibition held at Australian Galleries.

Here are a few articles written about the Reparation Vigil and 'artwork':

The exhibition, “Bellini 21c”, by artist Rodney Pople features 20 works that mesh Renaissance religious paintings with unusual and sometimes pornographic images. Eight works are of a sexual nature and one includes an image of a porn star engaged in a sexual act superimposed on an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Pople said he was not attacking the Christian Faith but “looking at the cracks within the Catholic Church. All I’m saying is that if you look at the layers, or strip back the curtain from the altarpiece, you’ll see a lot of hypocrisy,” Pople said. “That can stand for other elements of our social structure, not necessarily the Church.”
