divine lust, a photo from Luxembourg, South

Photographer's Note

Catholic Priests are facing a dramatic moment in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. It was only recently when we first heard about the initial allegations of sexual abuse within the Catholic priesthood that were surfacing in Boston. Although awareness of the widespread scope of these abuses first received significant media attention in Canada, Ireland and the United States, other cases were also reported in a number of other countries.This scandal has shaken faith in the Roman Catholic Church, and raised questions about basic tenets of the priesthood, including the vow of celibacy and the ordination of women. These allegations are especially disturbing for two reasons. First, parents trusted these men with their teenagers and children in the parochial education system, as well as in church service. That trust has been severely damaged. Second, the Catholic Church leadership has known of these abuses for years, yet it took a public outcry in order for them to be motivated to take remedial action...

Am not responsible for your thoughts ;)). What is the worst in such affairs is the disillusioning of us - simply-minded worshippers :((
Still I wish to enjoy the scene and see no lust but some of divines for sure ;))
Best regards T.

hi Korkut
you tell us about these trouble in Catholic Church through this strong image. You genius! Love this scene, a statue -the old,"petrified" Catholic Church"- seems to kiss a ghost -maybe our society-....very well seen, thanx for your important note.

Fantastic Korkut!
Which wonderful illustration of the tumults which shake the Roman Catholic Church at the moment.
This image reflects in a extremely fine and sensitive way the hypocrisy of the church..
Congratulations...
Have a nice day
Diane

Geia sou, big bro!

fantastic photo, besides its obvious artistic values this one is a great proof of your very high IQ rate (not as high as mine, but still high enough) :-P...

Kisses, bro

Sevgili Korkut, galiba T黵kiye'den fazla uzak kaldın. Skandallarla uğraşıp duruyoruz, b鰕le fotoğraflar 鏾k sakat. Hemen notuna bir ekleme yap, rahibin 鰌t�ğ� adamın yemin billah politikacı falan olmadığını yaz...
Sayende her g鰎d�ğ黰鏴r鏴ve 鼁erinde yansıma aramağa başladım.:)
Tebrikler...

莖k ilgin�. İ鏸nde duygu olan fotoğraflarda bir adım 鰊de giden bir başarı g鰎d黰. Sanat�ı ruh eşlik etmiş tabi. Birde farklı detaylarla harmanlanınca etkililiği artıyor. Renk se鏸mi, g鰈geler, bilindiğin dışında denemeler, habersiz 鏴kilen anlar 鰖ellikle... Ama bu kendiliğinde oluşuyor bir鏾k fotoğrafta.
