OPINION:
The last acceptable form of bigotry, anti-Catholicism, is the only practice of the KKK which doesn’t warrant mention (“SNL joke comparing Catholic Church to R. Kelly spurs ire of Brooklyn Diocese,” Web, March 12). The church’s cover-up of the abuses by the clergy has been a well-known secret for decades, almost as well-known as the virulent hatred of Catholicism by politicians and the media. This is the incestuousness of evil, and what better example exists than what occurred to the young man from Covington Catholic High School? This young man was in Washington to protest the further objectivization of human life by the Democrats when an adult in costume assailed him.
Who was this man, why was he dressed in outlandish garb and why did he accost this young adult who had nothing with his status of perpetual victimhood? Student Nicholas Sandmann’s look of puzzled bemusement could be considered a smirk, but clowns are supposed to make people smirk.
Then again, clowns are scary, too.
