The model Joanna Krupa's new PETA ads are attracting angry voices of many religious reactionaries. The model recently appeared nearly nude in an ad for PETA where she sports angel wings and having a crucifix placed on her body. The ad says “Be an angel for animals” as shown left. The campaign is to encourage people to adopt pets instead of buying them. The PETA ad however has made the Catholic League angry. They feel that the naked Joanna Krupa holding the religious symbol is blasphemy. (Source: Island Crisis)

INDIANA - Located in the southside of Indianapolis metropolitan area, Saints Francis and Claire Roman Catholic Church is a beautiful modern church eclipsed by the oversized religious art. The clean modern architecture based on classic, historical cruciform feels like an open amphitheater and it's monochromatic colors are an ideal backdrop for the massive near life-sized crucifix and statuettes of the Saints Assi and Clare.
