That's the beauty of Charlie Hebdo. They step on anyone's toes. Religious, secular, they're indiscriminate. As it should be.

Which is why I get down on my well intended liberal theist and atheist friends. You don't create civility through the blanket solution of censorship. Everything has to be taken case by case and outside that the only bans on speech are acts of violence or calls to violence.

7 billion humans will not always only say nice things about each other.

An organisation that is making a "saint" of a vile woman who revelled in the suffering and poverty of the poor while making millions from supporters, that has claimed, time and again, that birth control helps to spread aids, thereby inflicting untold suffering on people who didn't know better, and has had a campaign in place for decades to protect priests who abuse children, has absolutely no credibility.

You forgot about the paedos.

It is kind of surprising sometimes how sympathetic the RCC is to Islam.

It makes sense in a way. Both are opposed to gender equality, both have (largely) all male clerical classes, and both oppose homosexuality, contraception, and abortion.

In fact I believe some retrograde Islamic countries (Iran, Saudi Arabia and others) are some of the Vatican's only allies on their initiatives at the UN.

Speaking of France and "freedom of speech" I believe the French RCC was staunchly in favor of the Vichy regime during World War 2.

I don't think the RCC is in favor of freedom of speech as a principle, generally, even if they claim to promote "dignity of the human person."

Soo.. What happen did the pope send modern day templars over to jihad Hebdo offices again?

Or are you D-bags saying that the R/C church does not have the right to complain about being picked on?

Course it does. Just as everyone else has the right to be satirical. But satire by its very nature is disrespectful - statements like "You can't provoke, you can't insult the faith of others, you can't make fun of faith" are aimed at stifling that right. Just as referring to others critical of your opinion as "D-bags" simply for being critical does the same thing.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

No one is saying he can't complain, but that same freedom that allows them to complain and you to throw around the term "D-bags" as if you don't know what it means allows us to laugh at them for it.

Got it, or should I go slower?

Circle those wagons, right Drich? You don't give two shiny shits about the RCC (institutional betrayers of the True Faith, as you understand it, that they are), but you'll go to bat for them on the issue of feeling butt-hurt over mockery. Typical Christian "honesty".

Yeah, they can complain all they want. No one said they can't. But tell me with a straight face that they don't richly deserve every bit of the mockery they have received and will continue to receive. Or is this you pretending to be ecumenical?

Much slower.  Remember who you are dealing with!
