In case you can't read what it says, the Blessed Virgin has a pin that says "Spokane Diocese" and she is saying, "Good news: we're almost out of bankruptcy." Christ's leg says "credibility" and he is saying, "Financial bankruptcy, maybe."
The Spokane diocese, like many others, has its problems, but I do not think it is morally bankrupt, nor should a newspaper or cartoonist use the image of the Pieta in such a fashion. When the cartoons of Mohamed came out a couple of years ago, the Spokesman Review said it would never run such cartoons because of the effect they have on people. Apparently this does not apply to Catholics.
