Lisa Renee #1: Mock? I dunno. I suppose I can see why some people might be offended, even if I disagree with the word "mock". :) As for Donohue and South Park, I rather enjoyed South Park's take on Donohue (the one where he decided the Pope wasn't Catholic enough, to put it mildly). Lisa Renee #2: Of course. For me, it definitely goes without saying, as the Church still considers me a Catholic (and my parents still practice). There is a large diversity in opinion amongst lay Catholics, and in fact most of the people who attended the Church I did growing up would probably disagree with Donohue more often than they would agree with him.

If they would have then it would be a different issue. Yet, Donohue does tend to over-react - he also went after South Park more than once. Personally I think he helps draw more attention to things like this than would have existed in the first place.

You can see the poster <a href="http://folsomstreetfair.org/fair-info.php" rel="nofollow">here</a>. The big black guy in the position Jesus is in the painting is quite a hunk of man-meat. Frankly, I think the poster is a clever little piece of art. There is certainly nothing profane about it.
