I found the timing of your cartoon of Nov. 26 appalling especially the day before Thanksgiving when family and friends are brought together to give thanks to country and God. Is there any reason why the caption was not equal opportunity and instead had “corrupt ministers” on the sleeve as opposed to singling out the Roman Catholic faith?

I have had the opportunity to know numerous priests, brothers and religious figures in my lifetime and have found them to be tireless in their faith and giving to others. It’s too bad the Bangor Daily News has elected instead to take one more pot shot at a few bad apples.

Instead of the media focusing on “corrupt priests” and influencing people away from the church – which may be more of a factor as to why young men do not join the priesthood – it would be nice to see a focus on the good news so many other priests have to offer.
