What Catholic Churches In New York Are Placing Next To Their Altars Is Absolutely…
In New York City, a progressive Catholic church is exhibiting a disturbing exhibit about gender identity called “God is Trans: A Queer Spiritual Journey.”
The Church of St. Paul the Apostle, a “very liberal” church in Manhattan, has enraged many of its parishioners by placing a ‘God is Trans’ exhibit near to the altar in the front of the church.
Adah Unachukwu designed the installation, which is defined as a “queer spiritual journey” divided by three paintings labeled “Sacrifice,” “Identity,” and “Communion.”
According to the description that accompanied the artwork, the Sacrifice painting speaks “to the need to shed an old life and personhood in order to be able to focus on your spiritual need.”
“There is no devil; just past selves,” reads the description.
The Identity piece is described as “the most impactful part of the exhibition” and Unachukwu wants viewers to ask themselves, “What does holiness look like? What does your god look like? Are these two portrayals that can be merged?”
Finally, the Communion piece “rounds out the spiritual journey, by placing God and the mortal on the same plane to speak to one another.”
“This part of the installation is about a spiritual home and the ways we can achieve this home in our everyday lives,” wrote Unachukwu.
One parishioner spoke to the New York Post about the exhibit saying, “The church should not be promoting this. I understand there are transgender people. I pray for all people but enough is enough.”
“It seems like they are trying to force the agenda on others. Also, when a friend asked a priest about this they didn’t answer. You can’t put this out on the altar and then hide. That’s what gets the church in trouble.”
