The sculpture, which Mayor John Schembri described as "obscene" and "embarrassing", should be removed "as a sign of respect" for Pope Benedict XVI, he said.
"Colonna Mediterranea" (Mediteranean Column) is the work of ceramic artist and sculptor Paul Vella Critien and was installed on a roundabout at the entrance to the village of Luqa in January 2006.
Many residents of predominantly Catholic Malta have complained about the sculpture, which Critien describes as a modern three-dimensional representation of a symbol dating from ancient Egypt.
So instead of being disgusted in an institution that has tried to hide the vilest of crimes - they get all pious about colourful big art work.
Hell the Pope only has to look to the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel to see a few willies.
How could this possibly offend the Pope if he is not offended by the predatory actions of his former peers?
And you you want to read a truly artful study of Papal hypocrisy they take a peak of this at Salon
