Good question. An excellent representation of certain things in the modern Church that scandalize people of good-will in my opinion. But I think it’s ‘suppose’ to be a depiction of the resurrection of Christ though also representing the anguish of modern man under the threat of nuclear war. Sure looks weird though. Sculpted in the 70s.
Re: scandal… I always recall how scandalous the apostles were and yet post receiving the Holy-Ghost they were saints! Look to the saints. They reflect the Word of God lived day-to-day.
