(Video) New Banksy Piece in Liverpool - Anti Child Abuse In Church

This is probably in my top 5 favorite pieces of art ever. Banksy has been known for his depiction of actual problems that we all face today in the world, and usually executes his ideas beyond any other in his era.



Cardinal Sin is a bust with its face sawn off and replaced by blank tiles, designed as a response to the child abuse scandal in the Catholic church.

In a statement, Banksy said: "I'm never sure who deserves to be put on a pedestal or crushed under one."

"The statue? I guess you could call it a Christmas present. At this time of year it's easy to forget the true meaning of Christianity - the lies, the corruption, the abuse."
