I admire the handicapped person who painted these pictures, but they are ugly. Why not just use paintings of the traditional Masters of Art, like Fra Angelico for instance...my personal favorite.

Grotesque. They unsettle the spirit rather than ennoble and inspire.
Not sexual? Of course not! There’s nothing wrong with a naked boy and a man being presented together
The stamp on the right : I can't recall ever having seen a tall angel topless (and who knows maybe more nakedness is implied). We have seen a lot of nudity in recent years. By the way, do you know Paglian art?
The stamp on the left: this obese 12 months old baby doesn't inspire me anything related to our religion, I just want to look away. Also, his complete nudity doesn't sit well with me, especially …More

The stamp on the left: this obese 12 months old baby doesn't inspire me anything related to our religion, I just want to look away. Also, his complete nudity doesn't sit well with me, especially coming from the Vatican homosexualist club. Furthermore, do I need to specify the discordance between the aspect of the baby and the time of the shepherds' presence?

"We have seen a lot of nudity in recent years." You mean, like the Sistine Chapel before later popes had painters cover up all the naughty bits?
"I can't recall ever having seen a tall angel topless" Well, perhaps not the Seraphim, but the Cherubim are notorious for it.More

@Wichita Knight No, I don't think about the Sistine. This was more than 480 years ago, so not ''recent''. I had in mind the 2017 Vatican Nativity scene, the false goddess Pachamama etc. Also, when I wrote ''tall angel'' I meant normal adult size like on the stamp rather than midget size.
Anyhow, I never had that in my surrounding and, I am not looking for homosexual artists, neither Michelangelo …More

Anyhow, I never had that in my surrounding and, I am not looking for homosexual artists, neither Michelangelo nor any others. I am not like the weak-minded people who do not have the lucidity nor the intention to remove innapropriate stuff from places of worship and from any work related to religion.

I always hated that sculpture. My family and I were there. Even though we were not up real close, it's worse in person than just a photo. It looks like someone coming out of the flames.

Does anyone remember the huge outrage afew years ago when Francis and company tried to but an obviously pro-homo Nativity scene up in St. Peter's....where there were at least 3 nearly naked statues of guys as part of the Nativity set. That was worse than this.
