COMEDY CENTRAL EXEC THREATENS CHURCH
https://www.catholicleague.org ^ | 02/16/2018 | Bill Donohue

Posted on 02/16/2018 3:01:15 PM PST by heterosupremacist

Viacom has a serious problem on its hands: Jake Weisman, the co-creator and writer of the Comedy Central show, “Corporate” (he also stars in the show), has threatened to “bring the whole system down.” He was referring to the Roman Catholic Church.

Weisman made his threat yesterday on Twitter. His incendiary comment was in response to a news release I wrote about the February 14th episode of “Corporate.” In it, the Eucharist was obscenely mocked. A woman dressed like a nun was shown seductively sucking a cross-shaped popsicle. She remarked, “My favorite flavor—the blood of Christ.” It doesn’t get much dirtier than this.

It must also be said that the filthy responses that supported Weisman’s tweet cannot be reprinted here—some were aimed directly at me.

In one sense, I am happy Weisman made this threat. While Hollywood was not always a bastion of anti-Catholicism, in the past half-century it has certainly evolved into one. Let’s be honest: If Jews were portrayed the way Hollywood portrays Catholics, it would be labeled the premier anti-Semitic industry in America.

I can’t see this being a problem. Sadly, no one will defend Catholics anymore. They can get away with doing anything to Catholics.

Oh, look. Religious war. That’s something we’ve not heard about for the last dozen centuries.

Mine’s better than yours!

Christ accurately prophesied that the world would always hate his followers. So we shouldn’t be surprised. This is just more proof of his divinity

You may have some reason to disagree with the Catholic League -— I hope you’ll enlighten us -— but there is no difference between what they profess to believe, their policies, and their actions. They match up. They are of a piece. They are almost perfectly transparent and almost boringly predictable: what they say, they do. How is this hypocritical?

You’d better leave. It’s going to get pretty messy here.

Sounds like movie script.

A valid point. Then too, kids of this age have grown up with internet porn, church officials sexually abusing kids, queer marriage, abortion without parental consent, etc so in the absence of parents doing their job, it’s not real surprising that they have no sense of right and wrong.
