To the editors:
I would like to express my disapproval of the cartoon regarding the death of Pope John Paul II that was in the April 4 issue of The Crimson. As a Catholic myself, I found it disrespectful and tactless. All Catholics are currently in a period of mourning and trying to lighten the mood with a comic was not appropriate as the subject of a satirical comic. I highly encourage the staff to reconsider publishing comics along those lines in the future.
