It's all in the eye of the beholder, an old saying goes. Paradoxically, perhaps it is more in the mind of the beholder when it comes to the below linked illustration. According to Danish media magazine Journalisten, a satirical illustration in German magazine Titanic of the current debate about sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, has created a storm of protests from furious religious and other groups received at the German press council. Christian politicians from CDU have also protested against the illustration of a Catholic priest kneeling in front of a crucified Jesus figure. And Facebook groups have gathered for and against, respectively. To me it is quite unclear what exactly the priest is doing. Judge for yourselves: It is all in the mind of the beholder.
