I like to think that Mary and all of the saints have a sense of humor.

Perhaps they do .... when there is something humorous. St. Joan of Arc - burned at the stake, St. Stephen - stoned to death, St. George - subjected to merciless torture and then beheaded, and let's not forget St. Peter - crucified upside down. But not all saints are martyrs - Mother Teresa - literally scraped the abandoned from the pavements of India for she saw Christ in their miserable faces. Mother had a sense of humor, but she took her faith seriously.

So what if South Park makes fun of her? They make fun of God and Jesus, too.

Did you ever, for one second, reflect on what Jesus did for .... you .... and why? Do you find it humorous that He was beaten, flogged, humiliated, and nailed to a cross? Only one person stood by Him throughout His short life on earth - His mother. When all of the apostles fled, Mary remained with Him. And with His last breath, He entrusted His mother to John and to us. We are her children.

God gave Moses the ten commandments - not the ten suggestions or recommendations. One of those commandments says: "Honor your mother and father". Jesus honored Mary during His life and after death. She was assumed into heaven for He did not want her mortal remains to rot in a grave.

If you bitch about Mary, you should be bitching about them, too.

Again ... you, like many others, missed the point. Viacom intentionally aired this episode on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Had they picked a different day, it would never have made the news.

As a catholic, I love the Mother to whom Jesus entrusted me. As a child of God, I try my best to follow the ten commandments. What Viacom did was blasphemous. That you can find humor in our Mother's public humiliation is inconceivable. Are you a catholic?

Seriously, you need to lighten up.

Those who know me enjoy my sense of humor. What you need, however, is to re-examine your conscience.
