Hooray for New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani for denouncing the dung-covered Madonna collage being exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum of Art and for attempting to cut off public funding for the museum [NATION, Oct. 4].

True progress is made when only ideas and beliefs are challenged. However, both Giuliani and Kabala seem to feel that the subject of religion is somehow sacred and should forever remain unchallenged. Maybe it is because they are scared of what they might discover. Is it not possible that by viewing the offending "Sensation" exhibit, visitors might be able to enhance their understanding of their religion? That by viewing the art, which is so personally offensive, one might be able to better understand or even challenge their personal and religious beliefs? It is unfortunate that Giuliani and Kabala are willing...
