Buenos Aires, Argentina, Nov 1, 2006 / 22:00 pm
The foundation “Argentina of Tomorrow” is protesting the Argentinean daily “La Nacion,” which is affiliated with Rolling Stone magazine, over a blasphemous picture of the Virgin Mary appearing in its latest edition.
In a letter sent to the director of “La Nacion,” Julio Cesar Saguier, the president of Argentina for Tomorrow, Juan Carlos Voiseu, lamented the publication of a picture that depicts a naked woman holding a doll, in an obvious reference to the Virgin Mary.
Voiseu called the two-page picture, entitled, “The Nazarene”, “offensive and immoral” and called on the newspaper to “amend the terrible error of offense committed against the Catholic people of Argentina,” to rescind its contract with Rolling Stone, to recall all of the copies of the paper that have been distributed, and to issue a categorical apology for offending Catholic sensibilities.
