What is Catholic by Design?

As many publications and organizations don't always publish or respond to pro-Catholic / pro-Life / pro-values letters, Catholic by Design is my attempt to better disseminate some of the letters I have written. All of the letters defend Catholics, the Catholic faith, and Catholic values.

Why Catholic by Design?

Lumen Gentium, one of the principal documents of the Second Vatican Council, best explains...

"All men are called to be part of this catholic unity of the people of God... And there belong to or are related to it in various ways, the Catholic faithful, all who believe in Christ, and indeed the whole of mankind, for all men are called by the grace of God to salvation."

Who am I?

Jason Gennaro, a Catholic husband and father of four living near Toronto, Canada.

My Response Letter

When did it become acceptable to print anti-religious cartoons?

In 2005, newspapers around the globe fell over themselves to explain to the public why it was wrong to print cartoons that mocked the Muslim prophet Mohammed.

Yet, today, the Hamilton Spectator sees fit to publish a a cartoon that depicts the Pope blithely driving past a number of crashed cars labelled same sex marriage, contraception, women priests, and sex abuse crisis.

None of these things was part of the Vatican document "Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of the Road", which the cartoon was ostensibly meant to critique.

Is there any other conclusion than the paper and its editors wanted to openly ridicule Catholics and their beliefs?
