Description
Religion is a sensitive subject, so I apologize if this offends anyone. I just like the drawing!
This is an editorial cartoon I did for an article criticizing the Catholic church (specifically The Vatican) for not sharing its wealth. The drawing turned out a little less serious than I had planned, but I like the end result anyway.

Smart and well done piece. I am catholic, but i think catholic Church really should rethink itself ALSO on this matter. And moreover, the right of satyre is something no one shall ban.
The problem of this panphlets is that are thousands of catholic men working with people and no one draw them in action! They are the church, I had been working with missionaries for 13 years without earn one dollar and I saw miracles, and they working without relaxing day and night until get sick and... but no one make pictures about! The strange result of this kind of art is that the true catolic men, are the ones seeing this pic and suffering, while the main characters of the picture remain in their jewelery without see nothing.
Bandarlog, if you dont agree with the message, you still can give points for the quality of the drawing instead of giving a 1.
Nice pic, althou i need the title before i get the message. Maybe you should try to exaggerate it more. (ill give you a 10 so it will compensate with Bandarlog)
If the missionaries described above had any brains they would ban together and storm the Vatican and take the wealth then redistribute it among themselves and those they serve. I do not advocate the unsolicited forcing of one's believes upon another, but if you are going to operate within an orginization that screws you...perhaps you should rethink what you are doing. This is a good pic, though an old and rather worn theme. We have all know for centuries about the wealth of the Vatican. Perhaps if enough people got angry about it, something real could be done, rather than focusing on the current distraction we are seeing all over the media.
yah, the vatican does have a lot of money... prolly why im not a practicing catholic. Perfect for editorial art, nice job man.
but steel church is a political game and do not have any thing with spirit of human. Is't exist or not exist the money, please remeber what number of testemonies is 15 but not 4 and christian has hands in blood - deep and dark blood. That is reality and no body can aprove death, except christians. A dead god and the dead people... that is true and money is mamona of church in any quantity.
