Catholic ire versus art
Mideo Cruz "Polytheism"
Artist Mideo Cruz had, until recently, an installation at Manila's Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) entitled "Polytheism," which mixes images of Christ with pop icons, political figures, and some sexually explicit objects. The artist, his work, as well as officials of the CCP have come under attack by Catholic leaders, who have described the work as "offensive, vulgar, pornographic, sacrilegious, and blasphemous."
