Defiling the Virgin
Mary and the Pope
It is not easy to stop blasphemy.
Those who ridicule the Faith are relentless in their depictions.
The Comedy Central show, “South Park” is one such offender.
Its shows are constantly
pushing beyond the limits of decency. Moreover, they find
new ways of offending Catholics that often mix the obscene
and the sacred.
Such porno-blasphemous
portrayals are often so offensive that the protester has
difficulty in describing what they are protesting.
That is hardly a reason
not to protest. Catholics must be discreet, vocal and
firm. They must keep up the pressure on the entertainment
industry.
This is the case of a “South
Park” episode called “Bloody Mary” rerun on Comedy Central
last week. The cartoon episode depicts a “miraculous”
statute of the Virgin Mary spraying menstrual blood into
the face of a Pope Benedict XVI.
When this horrific episode
was originally aired during Christmas season 2005, protests
were such that the network agreed not to rerun the offensive
cartoon. Now Comedy Central has reneged on its word, and
Catholics have every right to express their outrage, demanding
an apology.

sending an e-protest to Comedy Central president Tony
Fox now!
