@thelarrydoyle Before today, I never heard of you. So, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and take you at your word. That being you were not attacking the Catholic Church or 1.1 billion Catholics only Santorum's views of Catholicism.

If you are really telling the truth about that then you should write what is good about the religion & the church. I went back and read everything I could find that you wrote on the net not in books. I am not seeing any positive remarks about religion, the Catholic Church or Catholics.

If you to look at ANY religion you could find weird, funny or scary things about it. If you are going to make fun of 1.1 billion Catholics & their Catholic religious rituals,  I am pretty sure you could find a lot of funny things to write about Islam and it's 72 virgins etc. To be fair & prove people they are wrong about you then you should write a satire about Islam.

I have a problem with so-called comedians who write or do satire that is actually hate speech that gets cover when they say it's satire. There is a very fine line between being satirical & hate speech. To me funny satire is when you know the person doing the satire does not really believe in the 'funny', horrible things they are saying. In your case we have no way of knowing if you are just spewing hate and using satire as a cover, if someone takes offense or you are just being funny.

You have to admit that Christianity & Catholics have been the target of a lot of hate speech in America lately. So, when you write what you did, it just seems like you are piling on and taking cheap shots. This whole issue with Catholics & Santorum was all started because Obama wanted to distract Americans from the bad economy and make a BIG issue out of free birth control pills when it was NEVER an issue before January 7, 2012.
