Not symbolism though: literal depiction.

What church? I deleted a t-shirt picture once that was similar and gokul yelled at me and called me a prude. :frown:

I just don't want anyone getting offended by what their mind might be thinking.

Is it too offensive guys?

Ok, when in doubt, snuff it out.
 
my goodness me!

If you can provide a link showing it's real, we can put it back up.

It was a modern stained glass window. It depicted two priests in vestements standing, more or less facing the viewer. The kicker was that there was an altar boy kneeling directly in front of one of the priests, facing the priest, and the priest had his two hands on the altar boy's head.

Ok folks, due to popular demand, here is a link
Only click here if you find church humour funny

It is as zooby says a lovely stained glass window picture with a picture of two priests and a young boy.

If you have a sad twisted mind like me, you might find it funny... Otherwise, please DON'T look.

  • #22
