Murdoch, of course, has a perfect right to mock the Mother of God (June 21)
but even a cartoonist has the concomitant responsibility of considering the consequences of his
levity, even if it’s merely letters to the editor rather than masked gunmen
storming the offices of The Dominion Post.
However, I won’t confine myself to predictable and entirely justifiable
objections on the grounds of offence to Christians which would not be tolerated
even in Islamic countries.
Although it may afford The Dominion Post an opportunity to reprint
Murdoch’s insult - and make me a laughing stock - I have to say the publication
of such effrontery in the capital’s daily paper makes me tremble for
Wellington, the city I love.
God will not be mocked.
