A newly unveiled sculpture features Pope Francis support the World Cup … and gay rights.

![Here's Pope Francis holding a World Cup football in a new sculpture by a controversial US artist, created to show the pontiff's support for gay rights. Pope Francis wears his white zucchetto, "embraced from behind by another version of his self wearing the miter", according to artist Daniel Edwards. "Both pope depictions display serene smiles while each give their blessings with their right hands, as an official FIFA World Cup soccer ball balances on fingers posed in the gesture of benediction," he said in a statement. It was inspired by the Argentinian-born Pope's statement that he wanted the World Cup to be "played in a spirit of true fraternity". The life-size vinyl piece is called "Spirit of True Fraternity and Gay Pride". "The timing of World Cup soccer and the Gay Pride celebrations in June and July seem appropriate, as both aspire to gain acceptance for the spirit of true fraternity," said Edwards' spokesperson, Cory Allen. Other works by Edwards include "L.A. Fertility," the nude pregnant sculpture of Kim Kardashian. The new piece will be unveiled in the US later this month [July 2014].
