The Catholic League is the nation's largest Catholic civil rights organization. It defends individual Catholics and the institutional Church from defamation and discrimination.

I hate to be the bad guy here, but for all the work the CL does, Bill Donohue still supports homosexual civil unions, which is explicitly against Church teaching. I wish Catholics would put some pressure on him about this. Because in the grand scheme of things, homosexual civil unions are a far greater threat than anything on TV. I don't want to support a Catholic group that is fighting against Church teaching no matter what they do.

I saw that episode. My impression was that the scenes questioned here were unecessary to the topic of the story. The other parts were funny. The Virgin Mary part was not.

great another thread so the FR Holier than thou club can come out and demonize those that enjoy the show.
NO thanks, I'll pass.

To: steelcurtain
yeah that too....
but they enjoy not having a sense of humor whereas if you call them "holier than thou", it makes them mad because it hits them right between the eyes.
To: NYer
I certainly won't defend this episode, which indeed sounds vile and disgusting. But I'll say this for "South Park." Unlike most other shows, they don't single out Christianity for abuse, while honoring a host of sacred cows. They make fun of everyone. Which means that they're attacking the Church bothers me much less than it would coming from other quarters.

Second to that.

Good for the Catholic League!
But be careful everyone, a certain poster has reappeared who LOVED that episode and who begins to weep and whine if anyone makes even a passing reference to his posting name.
Amazing how people like him think everyone else humor-less if we object when our beliefs are attacked, but even a little passing reference to his posting name goes right through his very thin skin.
To: NYer
Excellent!

Boy, it really irks you, huh. Good.
To: Conservative til I die

Not as much as this CARTOON has irked YOU, at least, to force YOU into FR stalking me from South Park thread to South Park thread....

I can't believe people on FR look to a CARTOON to have their values reaffirmed.
That strikes me as really WEAK.

I get annoyed when Donohue starts morphing into Foxman.

Doesn't irk me too much. You seem to be apoplectic though.
at least, to force YOU into FR stalking me from South Park thread to South Park thread....
LOL! It was the top thread on the religion forum, where I do most of my posting. Time to grow up. And stop calling people "a$$ holes" on FR. It's going to wind up getting you banned, and then you'll be without a platform to cry about "censorship".
