Vatican paper slams Charlie Hebdo's anti-God cover
[WASHINGTONTIMES] The Vatican's semi-official daily newspaper condemned French satire magazine Charlie Hebdo...  A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...for its portrayal of God as an assassin in a special edition marking the one-year anniversary of a terror attack on the publication. "Father O'Malley, put your suicide vest on and get over there!" A million copies of the issue are set to hit La Belle France's newsstands on Wednesday with a cover featuring a bearded man representing God with a Kalashnikov slung over his shoulder, the Agence La Belle France-Presse reported. "One year on: The murderer is still out there," the cover reads. In a commentary, the Vatican paper Osservatore Romano said: "Behind the deceptive flag of uncompromising secularism, the weekly is forgetting once more what religious leaders of every faith unceasingly repeat to reject violence in the name of religion -- using God to justify hatred is a genuine blasphemy, as Pope Francis has said several times."
