Dan Savage's retort in Mockery Has a Role To Play makes a valid point.
In the meantime the pope and his cardinals and bishops can't be allowed to use good nuns and priests as human shields. If church leaders don't want to be mocked, and if church leaders sense that the mockery is damaging Catholicism, well, then church leaders have an even greater incentive to make the kind of systemic changes that are necessary. And, again, no one is mocking those noble Catholic nuns and priests out there risking their lives in the Sudan. People are mocking those power-hungry, self-aggrandizing bigots in their stupid fucking hats back at the Vatican.
(Emphasis mine.)

Avoid the video at the link. Personally I get a kick out of the song, but I tend to like anything Tim Minchin does. I only tell you to avoid it because it's a string of profanity. NSFW. But it also makes a good point.
