Rabidly Anti-Catholic Cartoon Targets the Pope in Le Monde Magazine
TFP Student Action ^ | 04-26-10 | TFP

Le Monde Magazine in France published a cartoon showing the “Pope” sodomizing a little boy.

PROTEST HERE

The vile cartoon appeared in the Holy Week issue of the Le Monde Magazine. The author, Jean Plantu, is known for his blasphemous insults against the Church and the Pope. However, this might be the first time an insult against the Pope has reached this extreme.

TFP Student Action chose not to reprint a copy of the cartoon because it is simply beyond the pale.

Last year, Le Monde published a Plantu cartoon showing Our Lord Jesus Christ handing out condoms from a boat to the excited masses. The cartoon read: “The multiplication of the condoms followed the multiplication of the loaves.” That cartoon hit the Pope too. He was shown as a decrepit old man who says: “Anything goes!”

So, the most recent cartoon against the Pope in Le Monde Magazine is not an isolated case. It is part of a series. That is why it is important for us to raise a powerful yet peaceful protest against Le Monde.

PROTEST HERE

TFP Student Action’s protest message to Le Monde reads as follows:

To Le Monde Magazine:
Email: courrier-lemondemag@lemonde.fr

I am deeply pained, more than words can express, to know that your magazine published a sacrilegious cartoon showing the Pope sodomizing a little boy. I do not accept this indecent insult to the Pope. This is beyond the pale!

As the Vicar of Our Lord Jesus Christ on earth, the person of the Pope is sacred. And he teaches the holy and eternal truths taught by Holy Mother Church, which is absolutely against all sin, especially unnatural vice.

I demand that you apologize for the Jean Plantu cartoon and pledge never to publish such terribly insulting material again.

This is an outrage beyond the bounds civil discourse!
Le Monde Magazine needs to be recognized for what they are - an Anti-Catholic, Anti-Christian, Anti-Western culture Commie propaganda RAG!

It’s a sign of the differences between civilized religions and others that this cartoonist will not get his throat slashed for “art” that is far more defamatory than the Danish cartoons.

When a leftist judge deliberately releases a pedophile, there is not a peep from these freaks.

This has nothing to do with protecting children and everything to do with destroying the church.

They hate the church because the church opposes communism.

Yes, and also The Catholic Church is the only international organization that has the clout to be effective!
With the demise of USA, the Catholic Church is the last remaining obstacle to World Rule, with the exception of Israel. IMHO

Le Monde (The World) IS a commie publication. I remember one time when is Paris during the 50’s They had a huge Tri-color hanging from their building on the left side and on the right side a huge Hammer and Sickle and in the center a hugh pix of Stalin. At that time it was a daily.

catholics take a page from islam, threaten, intimidate, etc and then no one can make fun of you as muslims did it for comedy central and getting a Christian not praying o prayer day .
Then you will not only get what you want but you will also have the president come to you and give you anything you want

So when will the riots and other violence begin? After all, that brilliant geo political strategist Rosie O’Donnell says radical Christians are just as bad as those other extremists. Her audience of zombies cheered when she said that. If that really were the case there would be a much stronger reaction to the publication of this cartoon.

There is a very real possibility that all three will be destroyed within the next 5 years.

Yes quite possible, but remember Our Lady Of Fatima said that in the end Her Immaculate Heart would prevail, and peace would be restored to the remaining people of earth for a while!

You keep laughing and making fun of the Catholic Church, France.

You turned your back on Judeo-Christian principles and traditions, and now you are just about bankrupt, you have not reproduced yourselves, so you are just about extinct, and you are dependent upon and immigrant class of Muslims who loathe you.

Maybe we need to have a cartoon of Mo doing a little boy. They tolerate it.
