Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Hi All: I just did a little web search looking for material featuring anti- Christian and anti-Catholic stuff, thinking it might help our Hindu members feel less alone to see that human bias and judgmental, condemning, uninformed behavior knows no bounds. I came across this article that I thought was good for a chuckle, since our group members had a lot to say about the new pope. Here is a link to the below article if anyone is interested: http://www.cwnews.com/news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=37393 Canadian government funds anti-Catholic website Toronto, May. 26 (LifesiteNews.com/CWN) - The Catholic Civil Rights League on Wednesday called on Aileen Carroll, Canada's Minister of International Cooperation, to review the funding relationship between CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency) and rabble.ca, a web site whose current edition features a strongly anti- Catholic cartoon caricature of Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news). In the animated cartoon, the pope repeatedly marches to a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, then gives a Nazi salute with the caption "Heil Mary." Rabble.ca, published by well-known Canadian feminist Judy Rebick, is a project of Alternatives, a Montreal-based NGO funded by CIDA. One World Canada, also a project of Alternatives, is a partner of Rabble. However circuitous the route, at least some taxpayer money appears to be funding this publication. In its letter to Carroll, CCRL stated, "The league does not believe that any public money should be directed to a publication that freely insults Catholics, or indeed any other identifiable group. No matter how small the amount involved may be, it is unacceptable. We urge you to review this funding relationship." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
