A New Mexico newspaper defended its desecration of a Catholic icon and refused to apologize because they said the offensive image reflected diversity and captured the essence of summer.
The Santa Fe Reporter created an uproar with its “Summer Guide 2013.” The cover featured an artistic depiction of the Virgin of Guadalupe wearing a skimpy bikini and drinking a margarita. Over her shoulder is a bare-chested cowboy sporting a nipple ring and wearing a pink cowboy hat and kerchief.
Santa Fe Catholics said the weekly alternative newspaper has turned the religious icon into a party girl.
“If your intent was to in effect slap Catholics across the face, by putting forth this public depiction of Our Lady as a party girl, during the very week that we honor her as our patroness, then I can only say that from my perspective, you succeeded,” wrote Adam Le Ortega, the record of the Cathedral basilica of St. Francis of Assisi."

Another one of those threads where I don’t have to say anything other than ‘see the tag line’.
The Santa Fe Reporter weekly alternative newspaper
Which are most likely abortionists, tattoo parlors, piercing salons, strip joints, liquor stores, bars, head shops, pawn shops, immigration shysters, DUI shysters, bankruptcy shysters, sperm banks, blood and plasma clinics, etc.
Imagine the hilarity were someone with artistry to make a fake cover depicting just that, and distributing it around?
Somebody did a crude image of something like that.

Newspaper's online image called 'blasphemous' [Catholics / Lady of Guadalupe]
The chickens will come home to roost. Our Lady will not be mocked.
It’s described as an “alternative” newspaper, and therefore it probably caters to artsy liberals and will therefore be applauded for its “courage.”
It’s “Progressive”.
A couple of weeks ago the Reporter published a news item that said the Republican Governor Susana Martinez was under investigation by the FBI. WRONG! BIG TIME!
Turns out an early campaign manager who she had fired back in 2009 was hacking her emails and the FBI was tracking him. The trail of stolen emails led to the Democratic AG (who claimed he didn’t know they were stolen and who is running for governor against her next year) and to a Democratic activist associated with the Democratic Party chairman. When the FBI checked the activist’s computer they found lots of KIDDIE PORN!! Typical RAT party corruption!
Wow. They really are dirty in so many ways.
Thanks for sharing that. I’m going to email a lib I know who likes that Rag.
Somebody with some talent should do a better spoof cover, then report these hipsters in Santa Fe are mocking Islam in the name of diversity, making sure the names of all reporters and editors are on that spoof cover. Start spreading it all over the internet. Let’s see if they just shrugged it off as diversity.
Thanks, CD. Damning video.
I get KRQE here in Durango and prefer it to the Denver News.
This native New Mexican and devout Catholic thinks your a complete moron!
Mocking Christian iconography while not daring to even contemplate doing anything similarly offensive to Muslims doesn't "reflect diversity," it reflects across-the-board moral cowardice.
Some Catholics should behead the artist. Maybe then they would be more sensitive? I mean it works for Muslims, right?
