>> Deriding her physical appearance not a good thing. <<

Sister Wendy (my favorite art appreciation teacher) has the most crooked smile, enormous buck teeth, badly aged face, etc., yet there is something beautiful about her. Bishop Peterson is using her face to protest to the world how “saddened” she is by Benedict’s clarification of our Catholic beliefs. She looks ridiculous because she is a phony, a “useful idiot.” She is a fool, and a damned fool, and there is certainly a part of me which does delight in the justice of a damned fool looking like a damned fool.

I guarantee you, I could take a picture of anybody that would make him or her look both ugly and ridiculous. I wouldn't need any weird lighting or makeup or special access, either. It's just not hard to do. I disagree very much with her theology. That's one thing. But bashing her appearance, based on one (admittedly very unflattering) picture just isn't cricket.
