Is popular satire sinful to create?

[Izon]

According to CCC 2481, “irony aimed at disparaging someone by maliciously caricaturing some aspect of his behavior” is a sin. Doesn’t this include most satire that’s popular today? Or possibly even all satire, including the book of Jonah?

 

[Fr.Charles_Grondin]

Definition of malice:

1. desire to inflict injury, harm, or suffering on another, either because of a hostile impulse or out of deep-seated meanness.

1. Law. evil intent on the part of a person who commits a wrongful act injurious to others.

In order to maliciously do something we need to have ill motives and want to truly bring harm (e.g. ridicule) to another.
Political humor and satire has as a motive making a point about pride, hypocrisy, arrogance, intolerance, etc. They use humor to make a larger point and focus our attention in the direction of truth, justice, and mercy or at the very least humble us from pride.
However such satire should not be a crude criticism based on malice, animosity, hatred, personal ridicule and insults. Such attitude and means would be entirely alien to Christian morality. Political humor and satire should seek a greater good rather than a simple tearing down and injury to other persons.
