A reader of the Casper Star-Tribune didn’t approve of above cartoon, penned by Atlanta Journal-Constitution great Mike Luckovich, which depicts Pope Benedict XVI trying to lure Anglicans into the Catholic Church.
The cartoon plays off the news of The Vatican announcing it has worked out a way for groups of Anglicans who are dissatisfied with their faith to join the Catholic Church.
Ryan Harkins, of Laramie, Wyoming, feels it’s wrong to target the Catholic Church for trying to deal with Anglican converts.
“The Catholic Church is not fishing for converts (at least, not any more so than usual, given that the church has a mandate to make disciples of all peoples), but determining how to deal with entire blocks of converts seeking to be transplanted into the Catholic Church.”
