The Strelnikoff Mary of Help of Brezje
controversy or the Strelnikoff Affair (Slovene: Afera Strelnikoff) began
after a depiction of Mary of Help of Brezje holding a rat instead of
Jesus,it was published by the Slovenian music group Strelnikoff on the
cover of their 1998 album Bitchcraft. The album was made in protest of
the official views of the Roman Catholic Church in Slovenia and the
statements of some of its highest representatives on the subject of
abortion.
The first to condemn this depiction was Franc Rode, who was
the Bishop of Ljubljana at the time. This was followed by general
public outcry and expressions of the inappropriateness of the misuse of
one of the most known symbols of Slovenian Catholicism. The State
Attorney's Office received 3,867 public protests and 1,208 requests for
indictment. These were united in one that was at first rebuffed before
the Celje District Court. However, the state prosecutor Elizabeta
Gyorkos filled a complaint. The group members also received phone calls
and threats. In August 2003, the indictment was refused by the Ljubljana
Higher Court as well. In accordance with the Constitution of Slovenia
and the Slovenian law, the court concluded that the authors were
"tasteless in their artistic project, however they did not surpass the
boundary of allowed at all." (from LastFM )
