Sacrilegious Painting of George Floyd as Jesus Stolen From Catholic University
A sacrilegious painting of George Floyd depicted as Jesus being cradled by Mary has been stolen, twice, from the Catholic University of America in DC.
The painting, titled “Mama” by Kelly Latimore was hung up at the university in February in both the campus ministry office and its law school — despite outrage by many students and parents.
In November, the Daily Signal reported on the painting and it was stolen shortly after. The painting was replaced with a smaller version of the same, and has now been stolen again.
“Following the violent death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, Latimore created this icon in June of that year,” a description on the sign stated, in photographs obtained by the Signal.
