Bad Taste or Good Satire?

D. E. H.'s criticism of "Siderella" as published in Salient, June 7 was interesting in that it showed the true colours of his party. I, myself, am not a member of what he terms "The Party." I am, moreover, a Christian (if D.E.H. would include Anglicans in that class) and although agreeing with several of his remarks, I thought his criticism of the Archbishop was pitiful. Is religion so far removed from everyday affairs that its leaders cannot be impersonated like other public figures? Religion is as much a part of life as politics, without its divided parties. Perhaps D.E.H. would have appreciated more a caricature of the "Red Dean"!!

With due reverence to all parties concerned, I feel that the Archbishop was fairly represented and no bad taste was shown.
