You generally have to take it with a grain of salt when Bill Donohue calls something the "worst assault onn Catholic sensibilities ever," because he does that about once a month. The uproar this time is over an art show planned for Monday, featuring a six-foot tall corpus christi sculpted entirely out of dark chocolate.

It's quite a sight, actually, but what's apparently got the feathers ruffled is not the chocolate per se, but the lack of a loincloth on the 'anatomically correct' (as if) portion of the sculpture. I'm not sure if the artist is making a point about chocolate bunnies, or the real nature of the "body of God, but in any case, after much hollering and a few death threats, the show, which the artist describes as a 'celebration of Jesus,' is .canceled.

I can't imagine why something that was crafted with such obvious care would be so derided at the same time one formed by an accident of nature attracts open worship- why is one an act of God, and the other blasphemy? (And why is nobody upset about chocolate Buddha?)
