'Crucified frog' angers pope

August 28, 2008

A sculpture depicting a frog being crucified has been condemned by the Vatican. Pope Benedict has condemned as blasphemous a modern art sculpture portraying a crucified green frog holding a beer mug and an egg. Despite the pope's disapproval, the Italian Museion museum in Bolzano says the frog is a work of art and will stay in place for the remainder of an exhibition.
