The whole cartoon is misleading. "Upon this rock I will build my Church and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it." The rock is the papacy. Yet what does the cartoon show? It shows the Papal ship sinking and the little seperate boats floating away. In other words, it portrays the gates of hell as having prevailed against the Church and the faithful jumping ship. That's the message. And its a dangerous one that challenges the words of Christ. Our "lifeboat" is the Papal ship. There is no other ark that can save us from the storm. And yes, at the moment it does feel as if it is sinking and that "Christ" is, not only letting it happen, but is fueling the storm. But He will wake up and a true son of the Church will take the helm. I love the eternal Mass of our fathers and I fully understand what is happening and what has happened to our beloved Church. I fully understand that we have a Pope who is betraying us. But that's the very reson why I became a 'traditonal Catholic'; to stand fast and defend my Church against this very betrayal. It's a divine institution and despite all the huge waves pounding it, and a captain who in double dealing with pirates, it will not sink.
