\"\"I confess: it took every ounce of fortitude I could muster to refrain from using the word \u201cpope-sicle\u201d in the headline.<\/p>\n

From Joanne at Egregious Twaddle: <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bad enough I\u2019m always torn between explaining to my artist friends that being a faithful Catholic is not drinking the Kool-Aid and explaining to my faithful Catholic friends that it\u2019s not worth sweating over \u201cart\u201d that challenges Catholic piety. Now artist Sebastian Errazuriz has to go and put the whole business on ice:<\/p>\n

At a party this weekend celebrating New York Design Week,\u00a0which begins today, the Chilean-born artist plans to hand out 100 \u201cChristian Popsicles\u201d made of \u201cfrozen holy wine transformed into the blood of Christ\u201d and featuring a crucifix instead the tongue depressor that typically hosts the frozen treats, he said. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An image of Jesus Christ positioned traditionally on the cross is visible once the ice pop is consumed. As for the frozen wine, Errazuriz said, he concealed it in a cooler and took it into a church, where it was \u201cinadvertently blessed by the priest while turning wine into the blood of Christ during the Eucharist.\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You\u2019ll have to read the rest<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 including her debunking of the notion that the wine has been \u201cinadvertently blessed\u201d and consecrated.
