NEW YORK - A planned Holy Week exhibition of a nude, anatomically correct chocolate sculpture of Jesus Christ was canceled Friday amid a choir of complaining Catholics that included Cardinal Edward Egan.

The "My Sweet Lord" display was shut down by the hotel that houses the Lab Gallery in midtown Manhattan, said Matt Semler, the gallery's creative director. Semler said he submitted his resignation after officials at the Roger Smith Hotel shut down the show.

The six-foot sculpture was the victim of "a strong-arming from people who haven't seen the show, seen what we're doing," Semler said. "They jumped to conclusions completely contrary to our intentions."

  • Why is it that religion is the only subject matter in which cannot be expressed upon in differing ideals, without the risk and fear of such critisism. Anything against religion is strongly opposed, and suppresed. I feel religion needs to be openly disscussed, subject to different ideas, viewpoints, opinions and so forth. Remove the dogma from religion, create unconditional love.
    There is always going to be somebody who sees it differently, but if you look beyond the top layers of everything and digg deep. You may find that all forms of religion have the same underlining priciples, just different names.
