American Catholics lashed out in violent rampages in 1989, after photographer Andres Serrano's ''Piss Christ" Thats right, the violent rampages of American Catholics outweighs the minor altercation of Arab insurgenents.

It's Jeff Jacoby. He's the lone conservative on the Globe staff.

I would assume the term "context" has no meaning to the reporters working for this RAG!

Hey Globe, STHU!Normally, I'd agree with this statement, but Jeff Jacoby notes that nobody remembers the violent rampages of American Catholics... Because they never happened. He was making a point here.

I think I might be artistically challenged. Can anyone explain to me why a crucifix in a jar of piss is considered art?

You really ought to READ the words in the article and try to UNDERSTAND what the writer is saying.
Of course, there was a good reason all these bloody protests went unremembered in the coverage of the Newsweek affair: They never occurred.
Christians, Jews, and Buddhists don't lash out in homicidal rage when their religion is insulted. They don't call for holy war and riot in the streets. It would be unthinkable for a mainstream priest, rabbi, or lama to demand that a blasphemer be slain.
