1. Is this an ethical issue? Why or why not?

Yes, it is an ethical issue for me. I understand that

artists, ordinary people, and all of us are free to
make or create art based on our feelings or
thoughts that we wish to portray. However, we must
constantly keep in mind that some viewers or
individuals who will witness the work that we
created will appreciate it, while others will not. Even
I'm not a Roman Catholic, I find that image or work
of art to be offensive to me. It not only disrespected
other Roman Catholic, but it also disrespected the
entire faith.For me, it's an ethical issue since I find it
demeaning and disrespectful to the religion of
other. If we wish to produce art, we must ensure
that we do not utilize any religious devotional
artifacts as our subject, especially if they are bad, in
order to avoid harming them and their religion.
 2.Does the question of the rightness or wrongness of this
depend on which religion you belong to? Explain youranswer.

Yes and no, in my opinion. I believe that the rightness

or wrongness of something is influenced by the religion
to which we belong. If your religion feels that insulting
and disrespecting other religions is acceptable or even
appropriate, because it contradicts their principles.
Some members of that religion will undoubtedly absorb
it and apply it to others because they believe it is good,
but it is wrong for others. However, rightness or
wrongness does not always depend on our religion. It
is sometimes up to us to decide if something is right or
wrong. We are all aware that everyone of us has our
unique way of thinking or viewpoint on a subject. Even
if our religion taught us the right and bad things to do
or not do, we must ultimately determine whether or not
to follow it. If we believe that our religion's teachings
are incorrect, we are unlikely to follow them. Even
though our religion teaches us the proper things, we
are more likely to disobey or follow it due to our own
free will.
