Rector of Linz Cathedral Defends Obscene Statue - really?

For Rev Maximilian Strasser, rector of the cathedral in Linz, Austria, the blasphemous depiction of a naked, birthing "Mother of God" is unique.

He told Nachrichten.at that the sculpture is an "unusual depiction of a decisive moment in life". For Strasser, the depiction "fits well in the cathedral because it spans the arc from birth to death".

"The face and the energy, the effort that goes into birth, this elementary part of life, inspired him to reflect".

If Strasser believes what he says, let him depict his own mother in the same degrading way.

We should give more $ to Gloria t.v. for letting us know about the terrible things going on in the Churches today; as well as the great things too. 👏

Not when it showcases terrible things that attack the dignity of Our Blessed Mother. That is one line no one should cross.
Carol H
Apart from the grotesqueness of it all, I'm of the understanding that Our Blessed Mother give birth to Our Lord miraculously; that it was a virgin birth without the signs and experiences of a natural birth. This display smacks of the masonic heresy naturalism which denies the supernatural element of our faith.
giveusthisday
Yes, Anne Catherine Emmerich had a vision of the birth of Our Lord; it was entirely supernatural.

We should stop giving money to Gloria tv till it removes this

How about the Bishop who allowed this in his church.

StGMaj red oh my, trigger warning for gloria.tv for reposting antichurch reality is the devil's trick in perverted minds cooperating with the offenders in need of their cover up and to censor all those who expose them.

And for the rest of us, those who can do so, please do the Five First Saturdays in reparation for this diabolical madness.

We don't need a visualization to comprehend the depth of decadency imploding in CHRIST's own Church. Our Blessed Lady is deserving of a far better depiction, as The Mother of God. My own favourite being Michelangelo's pieta. Now that's what any Catholic worthy of the title, would call ART! Not that profanity exhibited in an Austrian cathedral. Seemingly, the local Bishop does not understand that …More

Seemingly, the local Bishop does not understand that the birth of any child to a loving couple is not only a joyous occasion but equally, a personal and private interaction and intimate experience, not withstanding the need of medically assisted intervention. It is worth mentioning that Our Blessed Lady and Saint Joseph, received no visitors until after the birth of the child Jesus.

Instead of promoting the image , remove it from here

@Gloria.tv please take this picture down... thank you.

I felt like throwing up when i saw this photo. Sickening. THis priest is insane and should be laicized.
But when we have a Pope who welcomes crowds of homosexuals to his audiences, and threw openthe doors of the Paul VI Hall afew months to host a mass of homosexuals and TRANS for lunch, what do you expect.
I hope someone smashes this blasphemous insult to the BVM !

Agree!

Brush the image, please.

This goes against the dogma of the perpetual virginity of the Virgin. It's satanic.More

The rector is an utterly vile man.

En.News you’re not going to help your fundraising if you keep posting this blasphemy filth picture. Just some friendly advice. 👍
Lisi Sterndorfer
I wanted to see how far this has gone.
Billy F
You can describe it. You don’t have to show that filth!
Rafał_Ovile
Billy F you will know the truth and truth will set you free . Don't use the mammone blackmail !Grow up please !
Billy F
What? Maybe you enjoy seeing blasphemous depiction of Our Lady? I don’t! I know if I was anywhere near Austria, I would destroy that!
Rafał_Ovile
Billy F be sure this pornography would not be available without your penny given to your governments and bergoglio destroying the Nations and Church. You must see the rotten fruits of your collaboration.
Billy F
Sorry, I don’t need to see that to know that the Church has been infiltrated by wicked men and women!

Billy F don't apologize for the blind who support the corruption. You're not the only being in the world.

@Lisi Sterndorfer @Rafał_Ovile If Gloria.tv is steadfastly determined to propagate such filth by circulating the image(s) world-wide, then PLEASE (1) post no picture or images of such abominations and (2) for the 'just have to see it' crowd post a hyperlink for such to get to the dirt.

Liam Ronan open your eyes and grow up please. Antichurch occupying the Church should be globally exposed.
Rafał_Ovile
Thank you gloria.tv for showing the rotten fruits of Bergoglian usurpacy and western decadence.
Carol H
Not when it comes to our Blessed Mother. That's a no go area. You protect her dignity at all costs. Giving thanks for the exposure of such blasphemy against her, because you think it proves your personal viewpoint, says a lot about you my friend.
Rafał_Ovile
Carol H firstable this is not Our Lady but perverted false naturalist image portrayed by the antichrist servants' minds occupying Catholic Church. Second try to exemplify basic courtesy by leaving personal judgement to Our Lord and my confessor. Finally we are in times during which evil is exposed to shake the lukeworm (Ap 3, 15) and save them from damning their souls.
Carol H
1. It was said to represent Our Lady; that's the blasphemy in itself. 2. That you would happily advertise this blasphemy as "proof" of your wonky point of view does speak volumes about your mindset. And if such "personal judgment" hits a sore point, perhaps you should stop calling out the Pope; he may be sensitive too.
Rafał_Ovile
Carol H again I simply reject your irrelevant "ad personam" sophistry which only proves your weakness in proving your point to cover up the scandal. As to the false imaged sculpture of Our Lady, if someone said that his depiction of animal portrays Carol H I doubt you and those who know you're human would identify you to be the animal.

Carol H again I simply reject your irrelevant "ad personam" sophistry which only proves your weakness in proving your point to cover up the scandal. As to the false imaged sculpture of Our Lady, if someone said that his depiction of animal portrays Carol H I doubt you and those who know you're human would identify you to be the animal. Analogously Our Lady devotees don't recognize that woman to be Our Lady but only blasphemous art worth to be fully exposed, and totally resisted. Finally please learn to use correct cognitive tools, especially to make distinct the subjective and objective, in order to conform your thoughts with reality.
PS which "Pope" are you speaking about ?
Carol H
A "cover up" of the scandal is exactly what was needed. Also, once again, you miss the point. The fact that the church - the bishop - declared this to be the Blessed Virgin is where the blasphemy lies. I would hope that if some clown exposed a grotesque and irreverent statue said to be your mum, you would do more than thank Gloria TV for letting us all see it.
Rafał_Ovile
Carol H point is that if your Bishop declares you're animal he's in error. I hope ! 😂
Carol H
But if it leads people to view me as an animal....
Rafał_Ovile
Carol H reason if you're human then objectively his statement would be erroneous irrelevantly to others' subjective viewpoint. If you don't learn above mentioned distinctions you'll only continue to confuse yourself and others.
Carol H
I'm just glad there are real men out there willing to defend Our Lady's honour. I'll leave you to mumble aimlessly about making distinctions.
Rafał_Ovile
Carol H since your disorientation gives you trouble in distinguishing between a woman and Our Lady. Pray for your humility so Our Lord uncovers the veil over your eyes to make you see again reality.

giveusthisday
Yes, most images of Our Lady show her very delicate and beautiful, as people who have had apparitions have told us of her. This is such a crude and terrible image it does nothing to bring us to awe and reverence. Also shame on the Bishop, who does not know the teachings of the Church. The birth of Christ left her virginity intact.

Heads of Linz Diocese lack any will to remove this demon. Incredible.
