This was on the Feast of the Virgin Mary, a Holy Day of Obligation when Catholics are required to go to Mass, so it really is horribly offensive, but I've laughed when they've insulted others so I'm not going to get in a bunch about this. Dish and take, that's what makes the world go round. This was the point I was trying to make. I don't care for when they bash my faith, but they're pretty much an equal opportunity offender...and it's a sure bet that they're not going to apologize.
BEsides the IDolators that flock to any percieived image of the virgin are really over the top and give Catholics a bad name and that's the crowd they were going after primarily, even though it splashed on all.
I'm often surprised at the vigor that some defend the flocking to idols of various sorts that some catholics I've encountered employ.

Can you imagine the reaction if the Koran or Muhammad had been defiled or even remotely criticized?

Remember the one from last year with the woodland animals wanting a virgin birth Savior of their own so they could have Christmas? One of the kids thought it was real cute and helped them out and then learned that their saviour was really the anit-christ. But again it raised moral questions. For a show that has been pretty consistantly anti-bortion, it presented as praiseworthy the mountian lion cubs learning how to abort the Antichrist.

Are you sure you didn't mean to type www.democraticunderground.com in your web browser? I always thought that was the home for the thought police and the chronically offended.Sadly, ever since the Terri Schiavo episode, FR has become home for thought police as much as any Democrat site. If you don't spew their single-issue line, you're obviously not good enough to be a Republican /sarcasm.

There was definitely an implied insult to Mary, and the Catholic church: the statue did not "appear" to bleed, it spouted blood profusely, with farting noises, into the face of the pope.
To: TC Rider
As I recall, a first order relic would be a piece of the true cross, his robe, the shroud of Turin, etc. A second order relic would be something associated with Mary. A church in Rome supposedly has some of Mary's breast milk in a reliquary. Third order relics are objects that have been touched or in close proximity to first order relics. They tend to abound in Italy. A first-order relic is an actual piece of a saint (or Christ, if one existed). A second-order relic is something the saint or Christ wore or used during his lifetime. A third-order relic is something that has touched a first- or second-order relic.
Thus, the cross should technically be a second-order relic, the Shroud of Turin third-order.

THat goes to the heart of what Stan said in the episode about drinking alcohol. Either too much drinking or no drinking at al are both unnatural extremes. He quotes his karate teacher and said his dad needed "disiprine." I agree. It is a matter of self discipline and that is something that, today, many people lack.

What's shocking to me is that at post 382 you're the first person to bring that up. Do you imagine they're too scared to insult the Koran or Mohammud? Or are they just too PC?

"Love SouthPark. The Virgin part of this episode was over the top. I'm not Catholic, but found it unwatchable." My sentiments exactly. Love the show but changed the channel at that point.

I'll ask you since the other one is now off holding someone's coat ... What was the insult to the Virgin Mary?

I think it was brought up earlier in the thread somewhere.
Are you sure they don't insult Islam or Mohammed? What about Team America?

"Still waiting for the episode where they wipe their @ss with the koran and show Mohammed taking it up the tailpipe from satan." You didn't see the Osama Bin Laden episode?

A first-order relic is an actual piece of a saint (or Christ, if one existed). A second-order relic is something the saint or Christ wore or used during his lifetime. A third-order relic is something that has touched a first- or second-order relic. Note to self: Religion - freaky

Internet chat forums are like private clubs. Ridiculing religious beliefs (veiled as satire) on public TV is different.

You have a good point. Jesus is portrayed regularly as a minor character with a barely watched call-in show on cable community access.

The Virgin Mary is the mother of God. It has nothing to do with being Catholic. South Park is insulting God's mother

As a Roman Catholic (and not a watcher of South Park), I have just one thing to say...That sounds like a hoot!

I'm Christian but not Catholic and it was definitely an insult to Mary to have her bleeding "OUT OF HER ASS", which they repeated over and over.
The people who replied that it wasn't an insult are flat out wrong.
