Mormon leaders are condemned for photoshopping 1650 painting of the Virgin Mary
The Church of the Latter-day Saint (LDS) have been condemned for photoshopping a 17th Century painting of the Virgin Mary to make her clothing more modest.
LDS released 18 nativity scene images for its members to download for the holiday season, including an edited image of Italian painter Carlo Maratta's 1650s painting The Holy Night painting, which has since been taken off the site.
In Maratta's original artwork, Mary can be seen flanked by three angels while she held her newborn close to her chest, which the painter included a tiny bit of cleavage.
However, the classic artwork was modified before being released to the church's members, drawing her neckline up higher and eliminated the angels surrounding her.
THey've done it to other paintings as well.

They’ll be covering up the chair legs next, in case they engender impure thoughts amongst the faithful.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

They did the same thing to Mitt Romney.
