Chances are Loveland's City Council Chambers inside and out haven't seen so many people in while.
The issue wasn't on the agenda, but it was definitely on the minds of residents. Many took advantage of the public comment period to talk about what some consider art and others call pornography.
The town is divided over a piece on display at the Loveland Museum and Gallery.
Some believe it depicts Jesus Christ in a sexual act, others think it speaks to the Catholic Church's sex abuse scandal.
"They label it art, it's not art, it's pornography pure and simple," Deacon Ed Armijo of St. John's The Evangelist Catholic Church said.
"'Mom and dad, what does it mean when a man has his legs between another mans thighs with his tongue sticking out?' What does the person answer that little boy or little girl."
The image is part of a 12-panel lithograph done by Engrique Chagoya, a professor at Stanford University. The panel is part of an 82-piece collection of art on display through the end of November.
"Chagoya is making a statement about the Catholic Church's role in covering up the pedophilia while the pedophiles act like they're the servant of Christ," Nancy Kain said.
"The pope is almost invisible in the corner. Chagoya asks us to think: that is surely a good thing."
Loveland City Councilman Daryle Klassen is leading the charge against the piece. He says it doesn't necessarily have to be removed, but there needs to be a warning.
"There is no idea of what might encounter here for children and the subject matter," he said.
"You go to a XXX movie they have the decency to give you a warning of what you might encounter."
Bud Shark, who brought together the artists for this show released this statement: "The image was made by the artist collaging parts of found comic book pages. A cartoon image of the head of Jesus was collaged onto the cartoon image of the fully-clothed body of a woman. Also depicted is the cartoon head of a man with his tongue out. There is no nudity and no genitals are shown."
Shark added, "This visual image is displayed in the gallery and is passive until someone looks at it. The viewer's response is personal and internalized, can't be predicted and says as much about the viewer as about the image."
It's up to the city council to decide what to do with the piece.
It is unclear when or if they will make a decision.
