BOGOTA, Colombia (Reuters) - Pope John Paul II is being reborn in a Colombian comic book as a superhero battling evil with an anti-Devil cape and special chastity pants.

The first episode of the "Incredible Popeman" is about to go on sale in Colombia and shows the late Polish pontiff meeting comic book legends such as Batman and Superman to learn how to use superpowers to battle Satan.

Like any self-respecting superhero, the Incredible Popeman has a battery of special equipment. Along with his yellow cape and green chastity pants, the muscular super-pontiff wields a faith staff with a cross on top and carries holy water and communion wine.

Yep. Couldn't resist

What's funny is that I'm not even Catholic and I find that mildly offensive.

Maybe I am a little old fashioned, but damn...something just seems "not right" about a pope comic book in which he battles satan with superpowers.

Although I do find the Family Guy references funny. Maybe I am a hypocrite.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, NOT AT ALL

I think its offensive and most of you know how often I actually get honestly offended.

Jabe

I feel this is offensive. If my posts are locked and I am called a biggot because of my beliefs and yet this topic survives somehow? I find this very offensive. The pope should not be joked about like this. That guy who made this comic should be shot.

The comic's intensions were to personify the pope in an attempt to glorify him in their own silly and ficticious way. I don't think those who created the book are trying to make him look stupid, instead they are trying to make him a hero as most of the world believes he is.

But this is just speculation so some of you understand the intentions of the creators. They may be junvenille but people can only express their beliefs in ways they know best.

But regardless of what I say this post HAS offended people here and will be locked out. Regardless of opinions we must be respectfull of how others feel.
