Holy 'Censorship', Batman: Judge Prohibits Creation of Pop-Religious Statues

Have you ever thought about having a Chicken Bird on your shelf?

Works mix religion and pop culture

Now it will no longer be possible: Judge Abilio Wolney Aires Neto, of the 9th Civil Court of Goiânia, prohibited its manufacture

The arts were produced by the artist Ana Paula Dornelas Guimarães de Lima, from Santa Blasfêmia store, located in Brasilia.

The Archdiocese of Goiania claimed that Ana Paula uses real bases in plaster of Catholic saints to create their pop versions.

Inspirations are as varied as possible: Kiss, Spotted Chicken, Dragon's Cave, Batman, Malevolent, Wonder Woman and more.

If she fails to comply with the court decision and continues to produce the pieces, Ana Paula could be fined R $ 50, 000.

In addition to stopping the confection, the judge ordered the exclusion of store profiles on social networks

The judge argued that freedom of expression cannot hurt people's religion

“Although fundamental rights and guarantees are in the same order, without hierarchy or primacy of one right over another, when there is conflict between them, the right to personal dignity, honor, and private life shall prevail, as in this case. Catholic Church, the Holy See, is a legal entity governed by public law, ”said the judge.

The decision was seen as censorship by some people on social networks, but, so far, Ana Paula has not spoken, having fulfilled the determination to exclude the profiles in which she published the pieces.

Images can no longer be accessed from official profiles
