People were extremely unimpressed with the move, and felt that Kim would not disregard other religious iconography in the same manner.
'Go do this with other religions you low life. You wouldn't dare,' said one.
'We don't need a blessing from the porn star thanks,' said another, pulling no punches.
@KimKardashian I'm Catholic we use candles with images of saints, the Virgin Mary etc. For prayer for healing and other reasons. #disapointed #disrepectful

People took extra offence on Instagram, when the mother-of-two used the image to promote her new merchandise for 4/20, including rolling papers and an 'ass tray.'
Kim's face was superimposed onto the virginal icon's body in a series of trippy, drug-related videos.
'This is blasphemy. Total disrespect to God and Christians,' said one.
'It is so sad that someone who keeps claiming she's Christian, but keeps acting like this. You can't bless anything when you're not holy. And God says stay away from drugs and you're promoting it.'
Kim is clearly paying no heed to the controversy, as she stepped out in an outfit with Mary emblazoned across her chest today.
The reality TV star showcased a cameo of the Virgin Mary's face on her see-through black dress, and while she looked pretty dazzling, people are sure to see this ensemble as a further symbol of disrespect for Christianity.
