So new Marvel movie is comming out and for it's promotion a picture of Last Supper featuring Marvel characters was created:

Which gave me a flashback to the year 2007 when there was that Folsom BDSM ad featuring people placed in the manner of last supper
Picture that infuriated Catholic League, so much so that they even boycotted the event and rejected when Miller Brewing Company apologized for it.
Here are some tid bits from an article that I found from 2007:
And yet they don't care if Marvel uses it. "Iron Man as Jesus is no big deal" apparently as well as Marvel using it to sell their merch. And although this Marvel Last Supper is kind of on fan basis there are other Last Suppers parodies that are official and do not mock the sacred feelings that Catholics have

Quote:The apology, which was released late Friday, "is nothing but a rehash" of what the company has been saying all along, said Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious Civil Rights, in a statement of his own on Monday.
"It limits its apology to the use of its logo on the offensive 'Last Supper' promotional poster," Donohue said, which replaced Jesus and his disciples with half-naked homosexual sadomasochists, but "it still refuses to apologize for the anti-Catholic nature of the event itself."
"Evidently, Miller thinks these kinds of things are okay," Donohue said. "In the latest news release on this subject, Miller Vice President Nehl Horton said that 'when one group actively disrespects another, we cannot support its events and activities,'" Donohue said. "This is a fine statement, if only it were true.
"The fact is Miller has made no pledge not to sponsor the Folsom Street Fair again," he stated. "Accordingly, we will continue the boycott and the anti-Miller PR campaign."
Donohue also stated that the boycott has "reached a new level."
"In addition to the countless number of Catholics who have called us joining the boycott, we are now drawing the support of high-ranking members of the Catholic clergy, the Knights of Columbus in Illinois and New York, and the Chaldean community in Michigan," he noted.
"Any corporation that sponsors events that belittle people on the basis of religion is no better than one that belittles people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin or sexual orientation," Donohue said.

The Catholic League also plans to hold a long term boycott if Miller doesn't pull its sponsorship. "Over 200 religious organizations spanning six faith communities were sent a letter yesterday asking them to join us in the boycott. If S&M Miller doesn't pull its sponsorship, we will announce a game plan on Monday that will make the company regret it ever decided to insult Christians", the League said in a press release.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
