We were having a discussion about idolatry and what the intent was of the artist who created Piss Christ. There is nothing going on except trying to figure out whether the artist is Catholic. I know already that he grew up under difficult circumstances in Brooklyn, New York, and that his reality has affected his works. So if you want to call it profiling, fine, whatever, but certainly there is no intent to be prejudiced or bigoted. Someone's religion is a fact, and Spanish surnames are often a clue that someone might be Catholic. We are just trying to have a serious discussion about Piss Christ. If you have studied art, you should know that who the artist is, his underlying culture, can bring a lot of depth of understanding to his works.
