Well I think it would be up to the Cathedral of they want ads?
I am sure Samsung paid a lot of money to have that billboard.
I think it is rather crass of the faith to get paid to let their Church be used in such a way. I am sure Samsung will not be the only sponsor.
I think it has more to do with the commercialization of religion than Samsung. It certainly is an eyesore. But I just don't see how you blame Samsung for this.
Also if you are a religious person isn't it good for the church to find ways to make money to support the maintenance and upkeep of such a beautiful place?
Just use the object remover in the camera app.

I mean he didn't strike it down with lightning....yet
Rumor has it that in another 5 years, Apple will put an ad on the pyramids and call it new advertising.. 😅
Samsung paid for some of the renovation cost. And the Cathedral accepted the terms. So…. tell that to the pope?
