"somewhat heretically idolatrous colossus"[edit]

I added citation needed after the sentence "however, the gargantuan size paradoxically girds the saint's statue into a somewhat heretically idolatrous colossus". I was born and am still living near there and I can assure that the local people never had any feeling of that kind looking up at the statue.

It would also be good to add some general source on the topic.

I just went ahead and deleted that statement. It was totally inappropriate for Wiki. - Metalello ^talk 09:06, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry in trying to be bold for Wikipedia, and I meant no disrepect for saint chuck, but really? a colossus you can climb up for a saint? I mean what is the ancestry of such statuary: the Colossus of rhodes? the Zeus of Phidias? the statue of Constantine in Rome? I hesitate to say that there was no statue this large of Jesus in Italy at the time? I agree there is much more that can be said about this statue, but there is something slightly creepy about the gargantuan proportions that make it seem like a golem-wish for counter-reformation, and that the elevation and super-sizing of the saint, seems at odd with a simple creed. Wikipedia wins when you describe the statue as only X meters and y kilograms of bronze. Correct but has no soulRococo1700 (talk) 20:08, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious[edit]

Looking into the claim that the statue appears in the opening of Spiderman: Far From Home, I found a screen capture on YouTube that reveals it may actually be a different statue Trappy (talk) 07:08, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
