"The Resurrection" aka Throne of Satan at Vatican

It's no secret that many of the most venerated of Catholic traditions have their roots in paganism. In fact, the site of the Vatican was originally the temple of Janice, The statue of Peter in the basilica was formerly the statue of Jupiter, Mary- Venus, you get the idea. But what really made it seem relevant, and gave it graphic effect, for me was a photo of  Pope John Paul II, at a weekly general audience. A sculpture, "The Resurrection," by Fazzini, is the backdrop for this regular meeting. I'll admit it's a moving work, but it hardly seems suitable as a depiction of anything Christian. Perhaps it's meant to represent some other resurrection. Their seems to be a sort of skewed Rorschach test or visual double-entendre present. The flowing hair makes a reptile head when the lighting is right. The installation is often light near the base with a series of red lights that cause a similar effect chaotic background of the lava splatter.
