There has been a harsh debate about the intention of positioning a statue of the pope Juan Pablo II on Bellavista, in front of the law faculty of University of Chile. Sol Letelier, Recoleta’s mayor, denies to move the location of the statue and will fight until she can for it to be positioned in front of the faculty. The students only fight for maintaining the architectural purity of the sector, national patrimony.
There’re different criteria used for the students posture, among them are:
1. The catholic church has always sought humility. They’re now fighting for building a 400 million pesos statue.
2. In the Exodus (in the Bible) is clearly said that there will be no adoring of idols. What people wants to do with this is to start a cult to Juan Pablo II’s figure.
Personally I’m against the statue, because it would be giving private people rights farther away than they are able to perform. It would be a clear abuse of rights using a public place for lucrative means. Wherever the statue is, I’d be opposite to the project though. I would prefer to have that money used in repairing some of the already existing monuments in the area. Maybe some of it could be destined to repairing the damaged faculty of law, because the university has also left it behind on its budget.
