A New York art gallery has canceled the exhibition of a chocolate sculpture of Jesus Christ after angry Roman Catholic leaders protested.
"We have caused the cancellation of the exhibition and wish to affirm the dignity and responsibility of the hotel in all its affairs," James Knowles, president of the Roger Smith Hotel housing the gallery, said in a statement.
The Easter-season exhibit of a life-size chocolate piece of art representing Jesus Christ, which was scheduled to open on Monday, has been called off after causing controversy among the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights who called for a boycott.
"It's an all-out war on Christianity," said Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights.
"They wouldn't show a depiction of Martin Luther King Jr. with genitals exposed on Martin Luther King Day, and they wouldn't show Mohammed depicted this way during Ramadan. It's always Christians, and the timing is deliberate."
"It's not just the ugliness of the portrayal, but the timing, to choose Holy Week, is astounding."
