Sometimes A Rebel Flag Is Just A Battle Flag - South Carolina Episcopal Church & Newspaper Cartoons

I do a lot of how media handles the religion beat on this blog and not just as to Catholics. I for some reason rarely hit the topic Editorial cartoonist .

However an interesting heated issue just came up in South Carolina.

It hard to not to use American Civil War analogies in the Episcopal Church dispute in South Carolina. I mean it is South Carolina and Charleston so people want to have some fun with that.

Needless to say the rebel flag is a touchy subject which brings out all sort of emotions.

The person who drew this newspaper cartoon tells people to calm down , don't cancel their subscriptions , and in the end sometimes a battle flag is just a battle flag.

The Lead has what the cartoonist said at  How to draw with dynamite .
