German Cartoon Offends Catholic Church
April 13, 2010 at 7:01 am
Recently a German magazine published a cartoon depicting a crucified Jesus being 'pleasured' by a priest. This has offended the Catholic church
Quote:The crucifix cartoon is a barbed commentary on recent revelations that 250 people in Germany were sexual abused at Church-run schools in the past decades. The scandal has shaken the German Church.
You know, because kids can get raped and then when you challenge the church on it, the religious get offended.
THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE

Personally I don't see the problem, this is healthy satire.
Without such criticism things will not change.
I say about time someone stood up against the Catholic Church, it has far too much support when really it deserves very little.
Any thoughts?

No comments really... but funny cartoon ^_^

Actually, that cartoon offends me.
Not for it's religious content, but the dude-on-dude action.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
