hughcasey for pointing out the vaguely sacrilegious Chocolate Cross. I believe the God of good taste probably lost my comment. Something lamenting the lack of tortured guy stapled to the thing and the need for cherry filling...
I would have just let it go, but a strange bit of serendipity hit the news today: My Sweet Lord by Cosimo Cavallaro. Mr. Cavallaro obviously has a deep understanding of the Eucharist and probably a long standing dislike of stale bread and grape juice.
It's hard to tell precisely the conservative objection to the profane likeness; the medium or the lack of modestly. My impression is that, if a chocolate loin cloth were part of the display, the powers that be would be much less offended. Jesus can be edible as long as He lacks a penis?
The idea that an adult, healthy, Son of God, ever got lucky seems to be one of the great unspoken taboos. A perfect part of the Trinity, shooting blanks? Honestly, Christianity is a mystery to me much of the time. I personally blame Augustine for taking the whoopee out of worship.
How to fix our bare back crucified confection? Well, the display is in Manhattan... it's a pretty safe bet than an edible loin cloth can be procured from any number of local establishments.
