Thousands Of Catholics Sign Petition Against Giant Statue of ‘Friendly’ Satan Taking Selfie In Spanish City

Plans to erect a giant statue of Satan taking selfie in the middle of a Spanish City is causing a row between Catholics in the city.

An artistic proposition in the Spanish city of Segovia, northwest of Madrid, where local authorities hope a statue of Satan will become a tourist attraction, is not going down well with some residents.
The statue’s impish demeanor has upset Roman Catholics, who have collected 5,500 signatures on a petition decrying it as “offensive” to their religion.
The petitioners say the proposed devil looks too good natured. Plus there’s the whole selfie thing.

“This representation is offensive to Catholics,” the petition states, arguing the devil should be portrayed in art as “repulsive and despicable, not friendly and seductive.”

A legal complaint has also been lodged, although this has reportedly been dismissed.

The Satanic statue is intended to sit 200 meters from Segovia’s famous Roman-era aqueduct as, the city council says, “a nod to the legend” which claims the structure was constructed by the devil himself in just a single night.

‘Sad controversy’
Not everyone is concerned about the sculpture.

A rival petition supporting its installation has been signed by over 2,100 people.

The devil sculpture “is a part of the legend of the Aqueduct of Segovia, which doesn’t affect morality or religion, since it’s nothing more than a character from a legend,” reads the appeal.

One of those hoping to ensure the statue gets built is its creator, José Antonio Abella.
