    AmP Countdown: Time left to demand that Congress make health care reform pro-life: 2009-11-07 18:00:00 GMT-05:00

    Remember that Papist Cartoon? Some people do.

    Amy pointed out this cartoon, which I also posted, and will display again to make it easy:

    Apparently we haven't heard the end of this. As LifeSiteNews reports:

    Pro-Life Group Blasts Philadelphia Inquirer's Anti-Catholic Abortion Cartoon

    The Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper is coming under fire for a cartoon it ran following the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the federal partial-birth abortion ban. The cartoon entitled “Church and State” features the five Catholic members of the high court wearing bishop miters.

    Joseph Cella, the head of Fidelis, a leading Catholic pro-life group, says the newspaper, "has breached the line of reasonable editorial commentary. This cartoon is venomous, terribly misleading and, blatantly anti-Catholic." [More...]

    Some intelligent comments from my readers posted to the original post might enlighten further:

    IRONICALLY, no newspaper would ever dare depict the Supremes as Jewish Rabbis nor as Muslim Imams, yet they can get away with the Catholic Bishop look (vis-a-vis the miter) and with impugnity. I'd rather see halos over those who are pro-life and horns on those who support abortion. - Fr John Trigilio Jr Homepage

    I hope Bill Donahue & Co. step on [Tony] Auth's neck (rhetorically speaking) and call him out for what we know he is: a strident anti-Catholic. - Paul Stokell Homepage

    Actually, Paul definitely called that one, because Donahue did address this cartoon as well as the cartoonist, Tony Auth (who is also an Athiest blogger? Here's a pic of him.):

    "[Donahue:] Tony Auth is a Pulitzer Prize-winning bigot for the Philadelphia Inquirer. His cartoon today—which is also posted in the New York Times online—shows the five Catholic judges wearing a papal hat. He evidently forgot to put a yarmulke on Ginsburg and Breyer." [source/more.]

    Well, some people are taking action against the last commonly-acceptable prejudice in modern-day America: faithful Catholics.
