The Catholic University of America has displayed a painting of George Floyd depicted as Jesus Christ at two locations on its campus, a Monday report showed.
The painting titled “Mama,” apparently in reference to Floyd’s pleas that can be heard in the footage of his death, shows the Virgin Mary holding the body of Christ. Kelly Latimore, the creator of the painting, has previously noted that his work portrayed both Floyd and Jesus, according to The Daily Signal.
The icon was exhibited at the university’s law school and its campus ministry office, The Daily Signal reported.
NEW: Paintings depicting George Floyd as Jesus Christ hang in both The Catholic University of America’s campus ministry office and its law school, students say.
“It is just another symptom of the liberalization and secularization of our campus.” https://t.co/EkJtP229tw

“There are many students, faculty, and staff who are concerned about this, but there is nothing we can do. And if we sound the alarm, we will be labeled racists,” a junior at the Catholic University of America told The Daily Signal on condition of anonymity, fearing potential retaliation.

At the time Jesus walked the earth they witnessed several miracles. He healed the sick raised the dead. On the other side of Mt Ararat lived his cousin named Bejesus.
He liked his hookah pipe and beer. He could make the blind walk and the crippled see {*j*}
Catholic U has done many non-catholic things of late remember “Planned Parenthood” activity on campus?
Glad I’m not catholic for sure. This man was a criminal and drugs mostly caused his death. I don’t know what the hell the cops there were thinking either. Things like this make me sick.
Hallelujah brother . . . Does Catholic U now promote worshipping George Floyd? Not a racist, I don’t think I can do that! Is the University implying George Floyd and Jesus Christ are now on equal footing? Hmmm . . . I’m reminded of “Thou shall not worship false idols . . . Just sayin’
He was an ex con who beat his girlfriend and been convicted of many crimes and was
on drugs at the time that caused his death. If he had done what the police said instead of fighting them he wouldn’t have died from the drug over dose. You are right he was nothing close to Christ . Closer to the devil.
Kelley Latimore is an idiot that didn’t find out the facts before doing the painting
God will punish him in the end.
Isn’t that because their catholic-christ, his mother & this, their “socialist” virtue-signalling pope, never be able to save them from peridition…😈🤣
How disgusting of Catholic University to politicize Christ. Evidence indicates that Floyd wasn’t a person to admire; he simply was the victim of an overzealous police officer lacking good judgement, nothing more. He wasn’t a person to follow; Christ was the ultimate person to follow.
