46. You've expanded the discussion way beyond the scope of this incident
but I'd just like to bring up the point that in this specific case the point is not Catholicism=evil and therefore Catholics are evil but that Catholicism in its authorized form is deeply misogynist equating all power with masculinity even though it was rich Roman women who gave the religion its start. Honestly, does anyone think the miter wasn't originally intended to be a phallic symbol?
I don't think Jews or Muslims are off limits to artistic criticism especially by their own (and a lot of "anti-Catholic" art is created by Catholic women despairing over "their" churches attitude towards them.) I bet a weekend in New York could turn up some art examining the role of women in Jewish and Muslim religions.
