Let's see, the Catholic Church is secretly in league with the Masons, the Illuminati, Communism, the Klan, Jews, Nazis, history professors, and Captain Kangaroo. So, who are they trying to control? Lordy, where to begin. If the Masons are a secret society of the Church, why would the Church "spread the rumor that Lincoln was a Mason"? And since Mormonism spun out of Masonry (sort of), is the LDS Church part of the Jesuit conspiracy? The whole thing is not so much hateful as loony. And frankly, I don't find the image especially compelling, for those who are about to invoke the sacred right of ART to say, show, and imply anything it wants, as long as the result is "beyooty-ful." Once you get past the shock elements of Pope/fire/etc., it's no more beautiful than the average page of a comic book. If it were a similarly executed picture glorifying the Pope with a list below of the Church's "good works," I doubt if anyone would have paid much attention. M
