Unfortunately, I have not had the time to stay as current as I would  like on the Pope&#8217;s alleged complicity, when he was a cardinal, in the  Church&#8217;s covering up and possibly enabling of the sexual abuse of boys  by priests in Germany and the United States, and so I have not been able  to write about it in an informed way. Neither the sexual abuse of children nor its  being swept under the rug  such that perpetrators are able to continue  abusing children is unique  to the Catholic Church, of course, but, as a survivor of such abuse myself, it is impossible for me not to identify with the anger contained in this cartoon, which I found on <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.cagle.com\/2010\/03\/30\/happy-easter\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cagle Blogs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Happy Easter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.caglecartoons.com\/images\/preview\/%7B9b8955a1-53ba-4313-a07a-1ee11fb0b612%7D.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"425\" \/><br \/>\n<em><br \/>\nCross posted on <a href=\"http:\/\/richardjnewman.com\/2010\/03\/31\/anger-needs-a-voice\/\">It&#8217;s All Connected<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><b>ETA 4\/2\/10:<\/b> As Robert pointed out to me below, the image of the priest on the right conforms to negative stereotypes of both priests and gay men and by posting this image without commenting on that fact I implicitly endorsed that stereotype. So let me say here that while I continue to identify with the anger in this cartoon, I think it is unfortunate that the anger found expression in such a stereotypical image. Clearly the same point could have been made with a different image. <\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apologies for posting twice in one day, but I saw this image and couldn&#8217;t resist.
