As Philip Jenkins a highly estimated academician from Oxford had said, nothing is enough amongst those who want to destroy Catholicism. This photo is not only obscene and totally immoral, but represents what a large part of the media in Europe (UK, Germany and Austria mainly) and in the USA are doing, a coordinate and well prepared attack against the Catholic Church, regarding paedophilia. Professor Jenkins pointed out in his work “Paedophiles and Priests” only 1,7 Catholic priests were involved in these criminal activities since the 1980’s, and almost 10% of Protestant ministers, even those married, were involved in the same crimes and never convicted in most cases. Is quite obvious that the vast majority of perpetrators are relatives, classmates, professors, teachers (most in the UK and the USA) and others, but the only one who has been blamed for this crime is the Roman Catholic Church. What this picture shows is something that should be condemned not only by people like me, a fervent Catholic, but by everybody without taking into account their affiliation to any religion, or if they are simply agnostics. This is too much, and this porno magazine should face justice, and law must prevail.
