T-Shirt Wars: Mother Mary vs. Santa Muerte 2

Blogger Elie Fares gets all up in some clothing store’s grill about a T-shirt the store sells. This one:

bershka-shirt-lebanon-christianity-2

He’s terribly upset, because he claims that “not even with the most out-of-the-box approaches [can it] not be considered as a distortion of many Christian icons of Mary.” He says this “demonizes religious holy figures” and that it is “unacceptable,” “revolting,” and “offensive.”

Except that even your Moral Compass host knows, despite his atheism, that that’s a picture of Santa Muerte, the ever-more-popular Catholic folk saint venerated mostly in Mexico.

So can we all dial back the outrage now? Thanks.
