In a dissapointing 180 degree turn of sensibilities, the Vatican came out and publically sided with Islam regarding the re-printing of Kurt Westegaard’s cartoon depicting Muhammed with a bomb in his turban.

While I certainly understand the Vatican’s position that calls for respect of all faiths and the like. They have, in the past, issued similar statements when so-called ‘artists’ create their art by putting a crucifix in a jar of urine. Or by creating a portrait of Mother Mary made from fecal matter. However, when was the last time the Church put a bounty on someone’s head for offending Christ?

How much respect can you give a religion, where they stone a rape victim? Where a woman can be killed to maintain family honor? Where simply reading the Holy Bible can get one killed? And where converting to Christianity, or any other religion for that matter, is a certain death sentence?

Sorry, Il Papa, but I cannot, nor will I ever, respect a religion with those ideologies. Those kinds of actions are the antithesis to what God means to me, and what I have been taught, about Him by the Catholic Church.

At least Il Papa could have also issued a statement regarding how wrong it is for Westegaard to have a death sentance hanging over his head for publishing the cartoon. Has the Vatican said anything about that? Not that I’ve heard.

You can see all of the cartoons that stirred the ‘Religion of Peace’ to such a fury here.
