Crucified frog angers pope

[Bootneck]

ROME (AP) - An art museum in northern Italy said Thursday it will continue displaying a sculpture portraying a green frog nailed to a cross that has angered Pope Benedict XVI and local officials.

The board of the foundation of the Museion in the city of Bolzano voted to keep the work by the late German artist Martin Kippenberger, the museum said in a statement.

Earlier in August the pope had written a letter to Franz Pahl, the president of the Trentino-Alto Adige region that includes Bolzano, denouncing the sculpture. It "has offended the religious feelings of many people who consider the cross a symbol of God's love and of our redemption," Pahl quoted the pope as writing in the letter.

I can see it now. How the faithful will react. Rioting on the streets, yelling death to unbelievers. Killings. Embassies attacked and burned. People strapping explosives to their bodies and running around yelling God is great…………

….No! Wait a minute. Sorry folks. Wrong religion....

One man has gone on hunger strike!
