BY LifeSiteNews.com OTTAWA, May 30, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Rabbi Reuven Bulka, host of the TV series “In Good Faith” and the weekly radio program “Sunday Night with Rabbi Bulka”, has denounced a recent cartoon which depicted Pope Benedict giving the Nazi salute to a statue of Mary. Rabbi Bulk called the cartoon “horrible, unwanted and an inexcusable insult” saying “there is no room for this type of satire in this civilized world”.The inflammatory cartoon short by Mike Constable, entitled “Heil Mary”, was posted on rabble.ca, a site published by feminist Judy Rebick. The cartoon opens with the words “A Creature of Habits” splayed across the screen and a giant statue of Mary. Pope Benedict XVI then marches up to the statue and gives it a Nazi salute. Rabbi Bulka continued saying “How dare Rebick and her cohorts play loose with all this, with the Pope’s dignity and with the life of devotion he has led and continues to lead.”Many liberally-minded commentators, fearful of Pope Benedict’s faithfulness to Catholic dogma, his so-called ‘conservatism’, have attempted to capitalize on anti-German biases by depicting the elderly German pope as a Nazi, ignoring clear evidence of Benedict’s resistance to the Nazi agenda.JJ http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/ottawa-rabbi-defends-pope-benedict-against-horrible-cartoon/
