Why Is This Messiah Smiling?

Because he's getting a hummer from a priest, of course. (click through the image to see full magazine cover) This Hollywood Reporter article claims that there's a controversy over in Germany over the Jesus being blown cover that ran on the April cover of Titanic, a Frankfort-based satirical magazine that claims a circulation of 100,000 and has been around since 1979. The topic being referred to is obvious: the ongoing claims of sexual abuse by priests in the German Catholic Church. I can't find another article to confirm, but the one that's out there suggests that there were multiple complaints and two criminal filings concerning blasphemy from German citizens. A decision about prosecution should come this week. The credits of the magazine suggest it was done by German cartoonist Stephan Rurup, although it doesn't particularly look like any of the cartoons of his I've seen.
