BRITISH SINGER CHARLOTTE CHURCH – Ignatius Press, one of the largest Catholic publishers in the United States, has refused to sell any works by singer Charlotte Church after she called Pope Benedict XVI a Nazi and mocked the church. In this Aug. 27, 2005, photo, the singer is seen arriving for a gala dinner at a resort in Newport, Wales.

I wonder how long it will be before she starts whining about censorship.

Was she dropped on her head recently? If she's trying to follow Sinead O'Connor's lead, I don't think Sinead's career got any kind of a boost from her SNL antics.

bump for later

[Rastus]

By the way, will the MSM recoil with horror from this as they did from Muhammed cartoons and a drunken Mel Gibson?

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

Isn't she the one who claimed that as a singer she was more important than the police and firefighters who died in 9/11?

Your talent will dry up and will soon be holding a sign reading, "Will Work For Food." Enjoy it while you can, Charlotte.

What a disapointing little broad.

No they will rcoil in horror that Ignatius press dropped her cds from thier website and catalog

[Rastus]

Ohhhh, yeah. Of course, they'll be equally appalled when Disney goes ahead and releases Mel's next film.

What a disapointing little broad.

yeah the body of a model the voice of an angel and the heart of satan. I'm not overly religios or anything or even overly pro catholic but that kind of crap is way beyond the pale in my book. They say that those that dont remeber history are doomed to repeat it and she wil be repeating sinead o connors record sale history very shortly i think. If you wanto mock catholic church problems there is a way to do it that is classy, funny, witty, and makes people think. monty python did it all the time in thier tv shows and movies. The way she did it was as crude as farting in a operahouse

Cripes. All my favorite entertainers are quickly becoming less favorite.

She isn't my favorite singer, but I know how talented she is.

Do I ignore her talent and pay attention to her political views, or do I can ignore her political views and admire her talent?

Either way, I'll never feel the same about her music. I guess its a moot point.

MOONBATS!

Proof you can't hide the stink of trash for long.

that qoutesounds familiar but i cant find any links to storys about it

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

i thought that was natalie portman

[Anti-Bubba182]

What in hell is wrong with these people? Is this a calculated move to get away from a goody-goody image?

If she is trying to be another Madonna she won't pull it off.

[Rastus]

Natalie Portman is definitely a leftist, but I don't see her saying that about 9/11. She--at least in the past--regularly visited victims of terrorism in the hospital when she was back home in Israel, and I believe she grew up in NYC. I just don't see her being cavalier about it.

Celebrities take a hard fall from grace. They are supposed to set an example for others and when they don't, they get punished more severely for a transgression. When you recall from the Bible Moses gets punished for his sin in Kadesh when he struck the rock with his staff, its because he fell short as a leader. God forgave him many failings but not for showing true leadership qualities when the test was most acute.
