We note that somebody at Catholic University of America has liberated a second "George Floyd" Pieta (blasphemy) from the law school hallway.
...The painting, which sits outside the chapel at CUA’s Columbus Law School, replaced an identical, larger version of the same painting that was also stolen last month after it was highlighted in conservative media and the artist received death threats.
CUA spokesperson Karna Lozoya confirmed to Religion News Service that the replacement painting, which uses an artistic style known as a Pietà to depict a Black Virgin Mary cradling Jesus’ body after his Crucifixion, was stolen Sunday afternoon....
Apparently the CUA administration didn't get the hint the first time.
...School officials defended the painting after it was stolen the first time. They suggested they did not see it as depicting Floyd as Jesus — “That is not how we read it,” read a statement — and rebuffed efforts to remove it, citing a “no cancellation” policy. School administrators promptly replaced it with a smaller version....
They paid for a second one?
Apparently CUA does not need donations; if they have enough in the slush fund to pay for this crap, they certainly don't need more.
