Citizens of the French city of Angers are confronted with stickers on traffic signs saying: “CATHO RAS-LE-BOL” (=Catholicism – enough annoyance). The credit is claimed by a group called “Comité anti-Catholique Angevin” (= anti-Catholic committee of Angers).

The design and colors copy the well-known stickers by the Catholic French Youth Movement saying: “Porn – enough annoyance”.
