Australia's top religious art prize was thrown into turmoil on Wednesday after a judge quit in protest over the words "only women bleed" on a painting of Christ nailed to the cross.Organizers had hoped to avoid a repeat of the uproar last year over a statue of the Virgin Mary shrouded in a burqa and a hologram of Christ shifting into Osama bin Laden, which angered the Catholic Church and then-conservative prime minister John Howard.
