Thus saith a fresco in Montenegro!

Podgorica (Montenegro) (AFP) – A church fresco showing Yugoslav communist leader Tito and German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in a fiery scene from Hell has sparked controversy in Montenegro.
Apparently swimming in a sea of fire as a diabolical beast nearby swallows people whole, Tito is depicted in his military uniform alongside the heads of Marx and Engels — whose works were required reading in the former Communist state of Yugoslavia.
The work appears in the newly built “Church of Resurrection” in Podgorica, capital of the tiny Adriatic republic of Montenegro, which has already attracted criticism for its lavish design and frescoes depicting local politicians.
“Marx, Engels and Josip Broz Tito personify Communist evil in the Balkans and globally,” church leader Dragan told AFP.
While the fresco painter, who remains anonymous, “is allowed the freedom to see things as he wishes,” Dragan voiced criticism of the setting of the trio in Hell.
“He cannot judge, in the name of the Church, who belongs in Hell or Heaven,” he said.
