Re: Cartoonists Sketchpad (TNT, 3-21).
You don’t have to be Catholic to be offended by the extremely offensive depiction of the condom over the pope’s head. The cartoonist’s sick message was another slam at Christians.
Christians have, for centuries, been expected to turn the other cheek, and it’s now long overdue for them to say no more.
Had it been about a Muslim religious icon, there would have been more anger displayed than you can imagine, and it’s possible that the cartoonist would have had a bounty placed on him and a death threat posted throughout the Muslim world.
But no, this was the pope, a Christian, so he’s fair game to the mindless stupidity of the liberal journalistic world. This cartoonist should be terminated.
