Dear Catholic Answers posters. Please send this letter off to the Prime Minister of Canada and to those listed under ‘copies to.’ The publisher of this cartoon libelling Pope Benedict is Judy Rebick. The New Democratic Party has invited Ms Rebick to be the guest speaker at a special screening of Choice (a movie about abortion activisit Dr Henry Morgentaler) on 31 May at Aoelian Hall at the University of Western Ontario where, in June, Dr Morgentaler and Doris Anderson will be awarded the honorary Doctor of Laws for their work in abortion activism. This is one step further in the campaign to give Dr Morgentaler the Order of Canada which is this nation’s highest honour. If Dr Morgentaler gets his Order of Canada, it will be almost impossible to reverse the fashion toward abortions in Canada.

Dear Prime Minister Martin:

Catholic Civil Rights League letter ccrl.ca/index.php?id=240
Anti-Catholic cartoon rabble.ca/

On 25 May 2005, the Catholic Civil Rights League (CCRL) published on its website a letter to the Honourable Aileen Carroll, Minister of International Cooperation. The CCRL objected to the use of federal government money through (CIDA to the NGOs Alternatives and OneWorld) to facilitate the publishing by Judy Rebick an anti-Catholic cartoon on her website rabble.ca. This cartoon depicts Pope Benedict marching up to a statue of the Virgin Mary, giving her the Nazi salute, and saying ‘Heil.’

Judy Rebick’s website would not be able to operate without the news sourcing of the aforementioned NGOs. OneWorld itself restricts partnership to organizations which do not engage in religious intolerance. Please take the necessary disciplinary action against Ms Carroll with a view to implementing the cancellation of the partnership agreements among Alternatives, OneWorld, and Ms Rebick so as to preserve the integrity of CIDA and its funding policies.

Respectfully yours,
Your name
Your location

Should the website, rabble.ca, be investigated under Canada’s hate laws for depicting the Pope in a nazi salute to the virgin Mary, while uttering the words “Heil Mary”?

Absolutely, and the Canadian government’s sponsorship of the website through CIDA should be withdrawn immediately.http://www.cfra.com/images/redline.gif61.8%

No, this is not hate, it is satire.http://www.cfra.com/images/redline.gif38.1%
