"Pilier de l'Église" (Pillar of the Church) is a controversial etching by Belgian artist Félicien Rops, created in the late 19th century, which satirizes the Catholic Church. Rops, known for his erotic and often macabre artworks, was a part of the Symbolist and Decadent movements, and his work frequently critiqued social and religious institutions.

The etching depicts a bishop as a literal pillar of the church, with his episcopal attire blending into the architectural column of a church, suggesting the inseparability of the individual from the institution. The bishop's face is characterized by a look of complacency or indifference, and the work is replete with symbolic elements that critique the perceived corruption and hypocrisy within the church.

"Pilier de l'Église" reflects Rops's cynical view of the church's role in society and its moral stance. The artwork's provocative nature is emblematic of Rops's broader oeuvre, which often challenged the boundaries of acceptable art during his time. As with many of his pieces, "Pilier de l'Église" was met with both admiration and criticism, contributing to Rops's reputation as a controversial figure in the art world.

The etching is significant not only for its bold commentary but also for its technical skill, showcasing Rops's mastery of the etching medium. "Pilier de l'Église" remains a subject of study for art historians and scholars interested in the interplay between art, religion, and society in the late 19th century.
