Nothing surprises me anymore. But when I read about "Catharsis on the Mall" with its plan to erect a statue of a 45 foot nude woman I couldn't help thinking of Robert Hugh Benson's Lord of the World about the coming of the anti-Christ. One of the features of the humanitarian "religion" envisioned in the book (which replaces Christianity), is the establishment of four mandatory religious ceremonies celebrated annually including one called Maternity that features a statue of a nude woman.
