A Metaphor Worth A Thousand Words


It is said that metaphors are really important in forming religious minds and hearts.  The above photo is a metaphor for innocence betrayed.  At first it's kind of funny, until you really look at the cat's face and eyes and then it isn't so funny.  It's about experiencing something that is so instinctively terrifying at the hands of someone you trust in a place you can't escape.  A certain pope I can think of might want to meditate on this photo.  He might get why so many abuse victims feel betrayed....again by the Church.
