A red banner caption reads: "This is what I think when I hear priests quote statistics about molestation:" Below, an elderly balding priest with glasses, a clerical collar, and black robes spreads one hand in an exasperated gesture and complains in a speech bubble: "All we did was claim to speak for God and SUDDENLY we're held to a higher standard?" The joke is the priest treating accountability as an unfair surprise. Votey (aftercomic): mock newspaper text reading "HEADLINE! RELIGIOUS DEBATE SOLVED BY PREACHY CARTOON!" — a self-deprecating jab at the comic itself.
