          About 120 religious activists turned out 
last week to protest a "blasphemous" 
cartoon published in the Chicago 
Reader, reports The Illinois Leader, 
which bills itself "Illinois' Conservative 
News Source." The cartoon in question 
implied 
immoral behavior by the Virgin Mary, 
the pope and Jesus, the newspaper 
says.
