Yes, and unlike snippy people like you, I don't wear it on my shoulder and flaunt it all about.

Born and raised Catholic, Irish/German/Arcadian family. Did Catholic school K-12, go to mass, all that. And yeah, I have problems with the church, in my parish we had 2 pedophiles who were sent to jail, we had a bishop who was a pedophile, another bishop who sheltered pedophiles, and knowingly put them in churches in charge of youth services. We have a monsignor who is up for charges of sexual assault, and to top it off, our last bishop was found guilty in the hit and run death of a man and was kicked out.

We got a new bishop, he is pretty good, and he is trying to rebuild the diocese, its a tough job and I wish him well. He has lots more tough things to do than to bitch and moan about a cartoon though.

Snippy? I was just curious. I'm sorry you thought I was snippy. Bad clergy do not ruin a religion, as hard as they try, and I'm convinced that many do so on purpose.

I was just reflecting that if, in polite society, one were to bring up in conversation, oh say, the Armenian holocaust, in which Christians were slaughtered for their money and lands, then that would be considered very bad form. If one even dares question the PC version of the Jewish Holocaust of WW2, one may find one's butt in jail. Yet, our Christian God is reviled endlessly by a controlled media, and if we even question it, then we are "religious zealots". It's a funny funny world, isn't it?
