CMU Parade Controversy Over Naked Woman, Dressed As Pope
KDKA Pittsburgh ^ | April 29th, 2013 | Staff

Posted on 04/29/2013 5:17:57 PM PDT by Third Person

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Students at Carnegie Mellon say it’s freedom of expression, but the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh calls it inappropriate and disrespectful.

At an annual art school parade, a female student dressed up as the pope, and was naked from the waist down while she passed out condoms.

Even more, witnesses say the woman had shaved her pubic hair in the shape of a cross.

The Diocese has asked CMU to take action.

“I think we all know that when we’re growing up we do stupid things but to cross over the line in this instance shouldn’t happen with anybody,” Bishop David Zubik said.

CMU issued a statement, saying “We are continuing our review of the incident. If our community standards or laws were violated, we will take appropriate action.”

Kind of hard to shave your pubic hair in the shape of a pressure cooker.

I'm not going to ask how you know that.

What’s that we hear? The university’s hiring her as a “professor of community organizing?”

The best way to approach this is from an unexpected direction. That is, instead of objecting to what she did, object to her doing something totally imaginary. Since relatively few people saw her, it will throw a monkey wrench into things. For example, a rewrite of the story:

“Students at Carnegie Mellon say it’s freedom of expression, but the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh calls it inappropriate and disrespectful. At an annual art school parade, a female student dressed up as the “child wife of Mohammed”, and was naked from the waist down while she passed out condoms. Even more, witnesses say the woman had shaved her pubic hair in the shape of a crescent.”

If *this* message was released, imagine the hypocritical hysteria from all involved in the offensive display. Not only would they babble something about her looking like the Pope, not the wife of Mohammed, but they would fall over themselves apologizing to Muslims while sniveling: “Don’t kill us!”

I think it would make a hilarious lesson to them.

Intolerance on parade.

If you disagree with this religion, join a different one.

Well, these are the kind of people the Lord came to save and as hard as it is I will continue to pray for their repentance. Sometimes I get so tired of this but if the Lord did it so can I.

I have a headache from not blowing a gasket. Lord give me strength!

This is what they do when someone opposes their sacrament of infanticide called abortion. No wonder they are called the Culture of Death.

The Left will resort to any tactic to pursue their agenda. Someday they may resort to cutting off heads along with their Islamic extremist friends.

PING! Please other Catholics to this thread. We need to blanket this person in prayer & beg God’s Mercy for this disgusting & blasphemous display. It sickens me that this happen only a few miles from my house.

See why I’m “surroundedbyblue” ;-)

Haven’t seen a pic of the perp but sounds like even her accusers have ruled NOT GUILTY.

“In actuality she was dressed as a fool, a damned fool and acting like the whore she is.”

Absolutely. If she thinks this reflected poorly on the Pope, then she’s an idiot. The only person that looked like a jackass here was her. I live not far from CMU (I could walk & in fact, did jog around their campus Saturday morning), and even the hardcore lefties I happen to know thought this was distasteful & stupid.

My take on it is a bit stronger: I see it as downright blasphemous.

RIMMER Appeal applications, Listy. Character testimonials. What's this?
LISTER Kris found out about the shower thing; she went ballistic. It's just a little present to say 'sorry'.
RIMMER A bag of flour?
LISTER No, two bags. I'm in the Tank, in the middle of Deep Space. I can't just get on the blower to Interflora, you know! Flour - Flours! It's the closest I could get.
RIMMER You romantic fool.
LISTER You know how hard it is getting this stuff? I had to nick this from the bakery. She'll appreciate that.
RIMMER I can just see her reading the card: "Dear Kris, I'm really sorry for ogling you and the girls in the shower yesterday for three gob-smacking hours of steamy fun. To make up for it, and to indicate how truly sorry I am, here's two bags of self-raising. Something I didn't need any help with yesterday."

College students always try to be as outrageous as possible, and the Catholic Church is an easy target of the sex-obsessed crowd.

Actually, she’s probably aborted a child and this acting out is a way to justify herself.

The very public pubic “mutilation,” the sign of the cross in shaving the pubic hair is interesting.

Bet she’s lapsed Catholic.
