MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Yesterday, The Adobo Chronicles published a story about a controversial oil painting by Filipino artist Dante Hipolito. The portrait, ‘Salubong,’ depicts Pope Francis being welcomed by farmers and laborers. Those featured in the painting were actually rich and famous movie stars and politicians.
Many Filipinos reacted passionately to the painting. One such reaction came from netizen Nathan Briones (via the Rappler web site). He thinks the artist intended the painting to be a satirical artwork. You decide.
‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.’
Blessed are the rich and famous, for theirs is an oil painting with Pope Francis.

When I heard the news about this I have fervently hoped that the intention is satirical. Otherwise it’s useless.
