Twice-rejected ‚Jesus the Homeless‘ statue gets blessing from the pope

It was a statue that couldn’t find a home: a life-sized sculpture of Jesus depicted as a homeless man sleeping on a park bench, wrapped in a blanket, with his crucifixion wounds evident on his bare feet.
But after being rejected by two renowned cathedrals – St. Michael‘s in Toronto and St. Patrick‘s in New York — ‚Jesus the Homeless‘ finally found a fan in the Vatican: Pope Francis.
