There's something sacrilegious about St. David of Israel being depicted nude. Remember that in the Roman Catholic Church, he is a canonized saint (pre-congregation). What would it feel like to you like if a holy woman like St. Teresa of Ávila were depicted as Venus De Milo?
Yes, it's a beautiful piece of art, but Michaelangelo should have used some historical figure or something other secular to do it, not a holy man. Or if he were to depict St. David of Israel, it should have been like in the style of statues of St. Francis of Assisi or St. Maximillian Kolbe.
